Summary: A challenging and thought-provoking essay on health care
Comment: I was surprised to be the first to offer a user review of this book; it was really fascinating. Rothman provides a short, "page-turner", essay-style book looking at landmark decision points in the development of modern U.S. healthcare, from the invention of the iron lung and renal dialysis (rationing problems), to the political battles between socioeconomic classes, AMA, and unions in the development of Medicare and Blue Cross. As I write this, Amazon features a long review from the New England Journal of Medicine which is favorable about this readable and challenging book, but notes the reader may debate Rothman's conclusions as well as agree with them. It's a great overview of modern US healthcare which may leave the reader with more memorable "take home lessons" than the 500-page histories of healthcare and society. Rothman's approach may shape the way you think about other aspects of American culture and history as well !
