Health Care for Everyone

Headlines!

After a year of tumultuous debate between Democrats and Republicans, and many more years of failed attempts to change the system, President Obama signed sweeping health care legislation into law in 2010. This book reviews the issues and events surrounding the health care debate. The concise text describes the problems with health costs that have affected so many Americans, the solutions that have been proposed, and the hopes and fears about the policy overhaul. Readers will gain a better understanding of the health policy terms used in the news and the opinions on both sides of the aisle.
