Description
The United States spends twice as much as other industrialised nations on health care, yet performs poorly in comparison and still leaves 46 million citizens without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered. Publishes in time for the 2008 US presidential elections and following on the heels of Michael Moore's Sicko, 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care offers powerful ammunition in favour of a fundamental change to American health care.
