In many ways, U.S. residents are less free to make their own health decisions than residents of other nations. Government controls a larger share of health spending in the United States than in Canada, the United Kingdom, and most other advanced nations. State and federal governments subsidize low‐quality medical care and penalize high‐quality care. They block innovations that would otherwise reduce medical prices. Congress even funds veterans benefits in a way that increases the likelihood of war.\nFortunately, there are corners of the U.S. health sector where market forces have had room to breathe. In those areas, markets have made health care better, more affordable, and more secure. They have made health care more universal-both in the United States and in nations that supposedly already had universal health care. Sometimes, market forces develop such innovations despite government policies that exist explicitly to block them.\nThose sorts of innovations should be exploding across the United States and the world, bringing affordable health care to low‐income patients and driving high‐cost and low‐quality providers and insurers out of business. But they aren't.\nRecovery shows that making health care as universal as possible requires ending all barriers that government places in the way of better, more affordable, and more secure health care.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1952223849\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1952223849.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cannon, Michael F\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
