Now It's Personal: The Truth About Health Care, Doctors, and Patients in 2009

About the Book

The health care reform debate is always filled with lies and misperceptions.  The debate in 2009 is no different.  The very people in need of health care, the pateints, are largely innocent bystanders in the process.  Most people, no matter what their education and background, are largely unaware of how the system works.  The purpose of the book is to educate patients on the current system and how the ideas currently in debate may gravely affect their care in the future.
