Review

"Before you do anything else, make a note to read; 'The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care' by Sally C. Pipes. It might literally save your life, by checking the political stampede toward a government-controlled medical profession usually presented politically as 'universal health care." Thomas Sowell --Creators Syndicate

A great place to start is "The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care" by Sally C. Pipes. This is an extraordinarily edifying book that should be must-reading -- a health care mandate even I can agree to -- for every citizen upon whom socialized medicine could be visited and every politician contemplating visiting it upon us -- or properly opposing " David Limbaugh --David Limbaugh Blog

Product Description

The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care: A Citizen's Guide, is the latest book from health care scholar, and Pacific Research Institute President and CEO Sally C. Pipes. The book's foreword is by Steve Forbes. For anyone interested in getting to the core of America's health care troubles, this is the perfect book, he writes. And for health care policy makers, it should be required reading. In her 182-page book, Ms. Pipes takes on ten popular myths about the state of health care in America. The final chapter lays out several patient-centered prescriptions for reform.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong case against universal health care, January 25, 2009
Ms. Pipes lays out a solid case against the current political solutions to the healthcare problem.
She refutes each of the healthcare myths with solid research and sound economic logic.
The best part is that she does not only argue against the myths, but at the end presents a range of free market solutions that will improve everyones healthcare.
This is one of the best condensed versions for healthcare reform and should be read by everyone interested in this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's been accurately reviewed., January 18, 2009
By 
All that should be said about Sally P. Pipes' book already has been said by the eminently qualified reviewer, Dr Thomas Sowell. For insight into The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care read Dr. Sowell's column from 7 January 2009. Little more can be added, except that the book is quite readable.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a comprehensive look at the American health care system. It clears up misconceptions about cost, government intervention, and acess to health care. Let's look at the solutions list in this book and not let polititions ruin or health care for power.
