{"product_id":"b07n8fxvll","title":"False Premise, False Promise: The Disastrous Reality of Medicare for All","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican health care is at a crossroads. Health spending reached $3.5 trillion in 2017. Yet more than 27 million people remain uninsured. And it's unclear if all that spending is buying higher-quality care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatients, doctors, insurers, and the government acknowledge that the status quo is unsustainable. America's last attempt at health care reform--Obamacare--didn't work. Nearly a decade after its passage, Democrats are calling for a government takeover of the nation's health care system: Medicare for All.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporters of Medicare for All assert the right to health care, promising universal, high-quality care to all Americans at no cost. With a sales pitch like that, it's no wonder the idea has broad support. Democrats, particularly progressive ones, hope to capitalize on this enthusiasm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere Sally C. Pipes makes a case against Medicare for All. Using evidence from government-run systems in Canada and the U.K. she explains how single-payer health care makes a litany of promises it can't possibly keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBetween unpacking the plans under consideration in Congress--including the real costs behind the claims--and detailing the horrors of single-payer care in other countries, Pipes highlights how Americans actually fare better than their peers in Canada and the U.K. on health outcomes. Included are heart-wrenching stories of the human costs of free, universal, government-run health care systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePipes concludes with her vision for delivering the affordable, accessible, quality care the American people are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52830420828376,"sku":"YSL48099","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/81Rmq4-lVuL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793191336","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b07n8fxvll","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
