Empowering Health Care Consumers Through Tax Reform
Sep 1, 1999

The essays in this book provide enough different arguments in favor of reform that any reader, regardless of ideological convictions, should be able to find one that convinces. Health insurance premiums are slated to increase sharply once again. The number of uninsured continues to grow. Tax reform would save enough money to fund much broader expansions of insurance than politicians in either party are now considering--and it would remedy many other distortions at the same time. Let's hope this lively volume will reopen this longstanding issue for serious debate." --Sherry Glied, Columbia University, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, Winter 2001
