4.0 out of 5 stars germane to the US 2008 federal election, October 22, 2008
This review is from: Accidental Logics: The Dynamics of Change in the Health Care Arena in the United States, Britain, and Canada (Hardcover)
A major bone of contention between Barack Obama and John McCain has been over health care for Americans. In the 2008 presidential debates and on the campaign trail, big differences have merged over their plans.

If you are seriously interested in the topic, you might want to step back and peruse this book. Written in 1999, it takes a dispassionate look at health care plans in the US, Britain and Canada during the 80s and 90s. The comparative analysis lends some perspective about the merits of different plans and about universal health care versus some type of privatised scheme.

Problems with how universal health care was implemented in Britain and Canada are aired. These suggest that this approach is no panacea. But the book also delves in the flaws with the American system, especially the vast numbers with little or no health care.
