The high price of health care is a national crisis. Tens of millions can't afford health insurance, and nearly everyone faces financial ruin if they encounter a major medical event.
Health care prices have been rising for decades. It has reached the point where health care spending is nearly a fifth of GDP. And both Democrats and Republicans have failed to offer a plan to reduce health care prices.
The most serious challenge is that prices have been rising to the point where they have become pure extortion. We have seen headlines such as "A 97,000% drug price hike", and that makes everyone angry.
Something has to be done. The high price of health care is America's most important economic issue. The book offers a plan to make health care affordable, and end health care extortion.
