This thoughtful book analyzes and demystifies the health care system in the United States, while highlighting the many ethical issues associated with modern medicine from a Catholic perspective, i.e., managed care, hospital mergers and unionized health care workers.
Despite Keane's superb ability to assess critical health care issues, the book's greatest strength is that it dares to make recommendations--no minor task given the extreme contentiousness of the health care issue in our society.
This book will challenge the mind and heart of:
· Hospital chaplains, priests, or anyone dealing with the sick.
· People who serve the poor.
. Anyone who uses the nation's health care system.
