New in the Book Club: The Healing of America

I usually avoid reading about other countries' health systems; it’s depressing how backward America is about health care. It is odd that the best way to motivate policymakers to do something is to suggest that other states have done the thing and that we are behind, but the worst way to move them is to suggest borrowing a good idea from another country. But the Healing of America by TR Reid is worth reading. For this and other books we’ve liked, visit the CT Health Policy Project Book Club.
