Bethany Moreton: IMG Culture War on Aisle 5? Wal-Mart, Evangelicals, and "Extreme Capitalism"



"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Health Care Meltdown: Confronting the Myths and Fixing Our Failing System

by Robert H. M. D. Lebow

Health Care Meltdown: Confronting the Myths and Fixing Our Failing System Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Almost five years after the original publication of Dr. Lebow's authoritative dissection of America's health care "system", the situation has in many ways deteriorated. More Americans lack any health insurance, costs continue to increase faster than income, and increasing complexity is overwhelming everyone involved.

In revising this book, Dr. C. Rocky White has included recent developments in the field, and updated the relevant statistics. The bibliography has been expanded to include recently published articles, books and givernment documents. For the most part, however, Dr. LeBow's text has proved to be as timely now as it was upon initial publication in 2002.

With a presidential election coming in 2008, Health Care Meltdown, in its revised edition, will be an essential reference for citizens of all political persuasions. There is little doubt that the failures of America's health care "system" will be a major issue as political campaigns heat up.

Review:

"A necessary acquisition for all libraries."

Starred review, Library Journal

Review:

"A timely book for the present and future problems facing the health care system in the USàRecommended."

Choice, a publication of the American Library Association.
