Remedy and Reaction: The Peculiar American Struggle Over Heatlh Care Reform.

Paul Starr's new book is finally shipping. A master in the study of health care in America, Starr, as the inside cover states, "argues that the United States ensnared itself in a trap through policies that satisfied enough of the public, so enriched the health-care industry, an obscured so much of the true cost as to make the system difficult to change."


The magic of Starr is both in the stories he tells and the manner in which he tells them.
