    Think for yourself.

    "Healing of America" is a good book for those who have zero knowledge of the healthcare system, but urge to get their feet wet in knowing the main working opinions within the United States. I'm finishing my 4th year of medical school and, for those of us who have seen and read some things, this book doesn't do much outside of hearing the typical opinion of a wide-spread educated voice. If you're a scientist, nurse, pharmacist, doctor, teacher, graduate student, or even an avid news watcher, I wouldn't bother with this book.

    Straight to the point comparision of Health Care Internationally

    I haven't finished reading it but so far it is a great book to evaluate the health care systems of other nations to see what they are doing right instead of just being ignorant and listening to many of the politicians here in the USA. I had watched Sicko in my Sociology class and the comparison to other country's health care systems sparked my interest to the pros and cons of their systems compared to the USA - so instead of being ignorant, I decided to do some research and this book was exactly what I was looking for.

    Excellent, informative and eye opening book. READ IT!

    Excellent, informative and eye opening book. READ IT! Reid does an excellent job in comparing and contrasting healthcare systems throughout the world and does a great job at analyzing each of them separately.

    good book

    Good information over U.S./Mexico border health. It highlights the health status of people living in the border colonias, economic status and what the colonias are lacking.
