Health care was a top concern among Americans throughout this presidential campaign season. Conventional belief in the U.S. says that the government can solve America’s health care problems. The Pacific Research Institute (PRI) just realeased a new book, The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care: A Citizen’s Guide, that challenges this belief. The book’s author and PRI president and CEO, Sally Pipes, suggests that “Government overreach has put the system in a state of crisis.”
The book tackles popular myths regarding the state of America’s health care system and lays out several patient-centered prescriptions for reform. “If we want to bring costs down and extend coverage to more Americans, we have to open the health care marketplace to competition– by abolishing costly government regulations and reforming the tax code to make insurance more affordable,”according to Pipes.
