Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It's Necessary, How It Works

by Jonathan Gruber Author and Nathan Schreiber Author

This is a comic explaining health care reform written by one of the Democratic Party’s most influential health-care experts of the time.

You won't have to worry about going broke if you get sick.

We will start to bring the costs of health care under control.

And we will do all this while reducing the federal deficit.

That is the promise of the Affordable Care Act. From the moment President Obama signed the bill into law in 2010, a steady and mounting avalanche of misinformation about the ACA has left a growing majority of Americans confused about what it is, why it's necessary, and how it works. If you're one of them, this book could help demystify all this. From how to tame the twin threats of rising costs and the increasing number of uninsured to why an insurance mandate is good for your health, this book dispels false fears by arming you with facts.
