review 1: HEALTH CARE REFORM is basically an overview of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) written by Jonathan Gruber. The book gives an outline and a sufficient amount of detail to understand the political controversy surrounding the bill.The thing that I liked about the book is that it was easy to follow along and the explanations in the book were great. The fact that the book was set up in a comic book format just made it that much easier to understand the point Gruber is trying to get across.The only thing I didn't like about the book was that the book jumped around way to much. Meaning that at times the comics would kind of be out of place and didn't line up with what was trying to be put across. Also some of the explanations were a bit confusing, but in a way made sense.I would re... morecommend this book to anyone who just wants a basic background knowledge on health care. The great thing about the book is that you can learn what health care is, but you can also get a grasp on the issue health care has on America because of the comic scenarios.
review 2: An excellent overview of the various provisions in the ACA in an amazingly easy to comprehend format. You have to remember that it was written by someone who helped with the legislation, and can get preachy at times. If you already don't like the ACA, you probably still won't after reading this, but at least you will have a much better understanding of what it does. A valuable book to read no matter your political position. less
