Download or read book Health Care for Some written by Beatrix Hoffman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 Affordable Care Act is a sweeping reform to the US health care system. Hoffman offers an engaging and in-depth look at America's long tradition of unequal access to health care. She argues that two main features have characterized the US health system: a refusal to adopt a right to care and a particularly American type of rationing. Unlike rationing in most countries, which is intended to keep costs down, rationing in the United States has actually led to increased costs, resulting in the most expensive health care system in the world.
