Book Reviews: Surviving the Medical Meltdown: Your Guide to Living Through the Disaster of ObamaCare (Lee Hieb, M.D.)

摘要

Expecting this book to be an economic treatise and political action primer, I was pleased to find its content more akin to a “prepper” manual for health maintenance and home medical care.An orthopaedic and spine surgeon, and former AAPS president, the author spends the first third of the book providing a cognizant review of how the U.S. “healthcare system” came to be the medical cartel that currently exists, and predicts its further deterioration. She does neglect, however, to discuss the way employer-provided medical insurance came to be the norm in the U.S. as the result of wage and price controls in the 1940s.
