Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis and the People Who Pay the Price, by Jonathan Cohn. New York: HarperCollins, 2007. 302 pp. $25.95.American healthcare reform has rather suddenly become, at least in political terms, sexy. Traditionally, healthcare has been a third rail of policymaking that few dare touch, but elected and aspiring officials at all levels are now proposing remedies to the chronic issues of the cost, quality, and, especially, lack of access to care. Not since the Clintons' well-intended but spectacularly sabotaged and unsuccessful 1994 attempt at sweeping reform has the issue been so prominently discussed.Readers are invited to contact Greg S. Loeben in writing at Midwestern University, Glendale Campus, Bioethics Program, 19555 N. 59th Ave., Glendale, AZ 85308 (gloebe@midwestern.edu) regarding books they would like to see reviewed or books they are interested in reviewing.(A previous version of this review appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle 10 May 2007.)
