Brave New World of Healthcare Revisited
What Every American Needs to Know about our Healthcare Crisis
"[Lamm] holds a stark mirror up to an American society willing to steal from its children and bankrupt the next generation."—Senator Gary Hart
An informed and erudite look at the current state of the American healthcare system from former governor Richard D. Lamm and political economist Andy Sharma, including:
- Will the retirement of the baby boomer generation bankrupt our healthcare services?
- What does the impending healthcare reform mean for the nation?
- Does the United States still have the best healthcare system in the world?
Lamm and Sharma expose these questions and more as they address the problems existing not only in policy and professional circles, but also in public attitudes and expectations.
