"I enjoyed Money-Driven Medicine:The Real Reason Health Care Costs So Much. This book really gets into the Truth behind the Health Care System and the Greed involved. Buy this book,you won't be sorry."
"An amazingly easy read on the many troubles of our current health care system.
The greatest takeaway I have from the book is that the health industry is not and should not be ruled by the common economic theory of supply and demand."
"This is a very detailed review of a lot of serious problems with the US health care industry, and worth spending time to read & understand. It covers advanced topics without too much jargon, so it doesn't require specific knowledge of health policy or economics to read. However, sections of it are structured too much like a laundry list of problems and issues. It would be better served with a little more organization and analysis, at the expense of a few of the details."
