July 24, 2012 by Editor

This letter is to share information. I recently watched a segment on C-Span 2’s Book TV Show that featured the author, Jonathan Gruber, Professor of Economics at MIT. The name of his book is “Health Care Reform: What it is, Why it’s necessary, How it works”.
The book is in a comic book format, takes about two hours to read and you can actually understand it. The book description is as follows:
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 which, due to a steady and mounting avalanche of misinformation about it has left a growing majority of Americans confused about what it is, why it’s necessary, and how it works. “Health Care Reform” dispels false fears by arming you with facts.
The book was $7.49, interesting and a very quick read. The author helped Governor Romney write the Massachusetts Act and also Congress and the President with the Affordable Care Act.
I wanted to share this with you as I think that you too, would probably just as soon know the truth rather than “scary” misinformation.
Please be advised, I am not advocating for or against it. Personally, I would love to see “Medicare for All.”
