Absolutely excellent! It's an excellent read!!!

This is a great book, if you really want to understand why our health care system got where it is, and what we need to do to fix it. It is no small coincidence that Sullivan sees a single payer system as being the only way out, and one funded by the taxpayers rather than corporations. These middlemen, who once supported a strong health care plan, have been forced by globalization to skimp where they can. For competitive reasons. The author hits the nail on the head at every turn of the page. I highly recommend this book, but not for your bookshelf. Use it to help educate employers and friends alike.
