Mired in the Health Care Morass An Alaskan Takes on America's Dysfunctional Medical System for his Uninsured Daughter
by Neil Davis
"This is a well written and researched book illuminating the dark interior of health care financing, ranging across billing practices for physician services, drugs, laboratory, and hospital services. A penetrating analysis from a consumer's point of view, unique in its detail, which shows how complex, fragmented, unaffordable, and unsustainable our market-based health care "system" has become. Motivated by the tragic illness of a family member, Davis carries his research to a study of our system as it compares with those of other industrialized nations, making a compelling case for a publicly-financed system of single-payer national health insurance."
