Details
Description
Journalist Jonathan Cohn shows the human face of the health care crisis in America through case studies of nine Americans who were harmed rather than helped by the medical establishment. In addition, he examines the history of medical care in the last 80 years, pointing to similar tragedies in the 1920s to which the government finally responded in the 1930s, after much resistance, by instituting health insurance for Americans. Cohn tracks the decades-long controversy surrounding the role of government in family care, including the establishment of Medicare in the mid-1960s. His account constitutes a useful resource for the ongoing debates about medicine and public policy.
