<P>From a giant of health care policy, this title offers an engaging and enlightening account of why American health care is so expensive—and why it doesn't have to be. The author was a towering figure and moral conscience of health care policy in the United States and beyond. Famously bipartisan, he advised presidents and Congress on health reform and originated central features of the Affordable Care Act. In this book, he offers an engaging and enlightening account of today's U.S. health care system, explaining why it costs so much more and delivers so much less than the systems of every other advanced country, why this situation is morally indefensible, and how we might improve it. He argues that the problem is not one of economics but of social ethics, and a lack of an American political consensus on health care. An incisive look at the American health care system, it dispels the confusion, ignorance, myths, and misinformation that hinder effective reform.</P>
