In this razor-sharp contribution to the healthcare debate, leading economist and former adviser to Bernie Sanders Gerald Friedman recommends that we build on what works: a Medicare system that already efficiently provides healthcare for millions of Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRejecting the discredited idea that healthcare should be treated like any other commodity, Friedman shows that healthcare is distinctive and can be best provided only through a universal program of social insurance. Deftly exposing the absurdities of the opponents of reform, Friedman shows in detail how the solution to our healthcare crisis is staring us in the face: enroll everyone in Medicare to improve the health of all Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bold and brilliantly argued book is essential reading for anyone who wants to see Congress and the White House act to provide America with a 21st century healthcare system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461492785388,"sku":"9781509539772","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509539772-the-case-for-medicare-for-all.jpg?v=1774969878"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/gerald-friedman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
