While analyzing the contentious debate over health care reform,
this much-needed study also challenges the argument that treating
medical patients like shoppers can significantly reduce health
expenditures. This revealing work focuses on the politics
surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), explaining how and why
supporters and opponents have approached the issue as they have
since the act's passage in 2010. The first book to systematically
examine public knowledge of the ACA across time, it also documents
how that knowledge has remained essentially static since 2010,
despite the importance of health-policy reform to every American.
An important book for anyone concerned about the skyrocketing costs
of health care in the United States, the work accomplishes three
main tasks intended to help readers better understand one of the
most important policy challenges of our time. The early chapters
explain why congressional Democrats designed the Affordable Care
Act of 2010 as they did, clarifies some of the consequences of the
act's features, and examines why Republicans have fought the
implementation of the law so fiercely. The study then looks at how
the intersection of economics and politics applies to the ACA.
Finally, the book details what the public knows—and doesn't
know—about the law and discusses the prospects for citizens
gaining the knowledge they should have about the overall issue of
health-policy reform.
