review 1: Pretty amazing so far! Yes, parts are dry as dirt, but it really explains the ins and outs of the affordable care act. One interesting tidbit is many in the media and some professors say that ACA is insurance reform and not health care reform. Now I know if anyone makes that claim then they haven't done their homework. The ACA is a complex and lengthy tome that addresses public health concerns, provider incentives, health inequities and more. I am still reading it so I will post again.
review 2: I'm currently working on a bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, because of this I am very interested in the medical industry, and where is it headed. The Healthcare Bill is very complex, and very confusing, very few people fully understand it, and all in cont... moreains. Sadly enough, some of the people who should understand and no the new law (those studying Healthcare Administration) don't even fully understand it. I wanted to understand it better, so I read this, and now I do. "Landmark" is written very clearly, and does a good job of not just telling us what the new law does, but explaining it, and also explaining what it means for the lives of every american, no mater what their situation, whither they're rich or poor, currently insured, covered by Medicare or Medicaid, or currently uninsured.While the law is fully explained, I felt that it was written with a slight bias towards the law, while all of its good attributes were pointed out and explained, many of the bad ones were NOT throughly explained. Also, while the book did say that things might not work out as planned in the bill, it never really went into what would happen if the law did not work as smoothly as planned. less
