Twenty-five of the nation's leading experts in health care policy and public health provide a much-needed perspective on how our health care system evolved, why we face the challenges we do, and why reform is so difficult to achieve. Address issues such as socioeconomic disadvantage, obesity, tobacco policy, gun violence, insurance gaps, the rationing of services, medical errors, the nursing shortage, and the pervasive influence of special interests.
