In the same way that Thomas Paine made a strong argument in his pamphlet, Common Sense, for people in the Thirteen Colonies to gain independence from England in 1775-1776, this pamphlet takes a similar approach, also based on simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense. Here, 241 years later, the subject is different but parallel to his goal is to have the American people gain freedom from the corporate masters in our medical-industrial complex that take their exorbitant profits on the backs of sick Americans, their families, and taxpayers. We detail markers of today's health care crisis, summarize lessons we can learn from previous reform failures, and compare three financing alternatives: (1) the Affordable Care Act, (2) the GOP's American Health Care Act, and (3) national health insurance under Medicare for All. The latter is described as the only way to achieve sustainable universal coverage to comprehensive health care. This will be
As Americans grow increasingly worried about access to quality healthcare, lawmakers from both parties are working to find solutions. But not all of their ideas would help patients -- and many could leave them worse off. For over a decade, Peter Pitts has offered incisive commentary on this pressing issue.

Common Sense Healthcare Policy for Common Sense Americans is essential reading for anyone interested in practical solutions to medicine, economics, and the health of our nation.

If you want a quick yet easy read of common sense yet challenging thoughts and ideas regarding the future of our health care system, A Short Treatise for a Common Sense Framework of Health Care Reform is a must read.
Can the ailing health care system be cured? Yes, but only with new ideas. Health care reform is stuck because there has not been an acceptable reform proposal. Providing insurance coverage to more people only increases the total cost of health care, and with insurance, costs are controlled by undesirable increases in the use of managed care. Single payer proposals involve unacceptable government price controls. Balanced Choice has the new ideas needed to fix the health care system. It provides the same universal coverage as a single payer system does, but it does not have government price controls. Overall, it costs less than is currently spent on health care in the U.S. Because it benefits consumers, providers, and employers, the resulting political alliance could be powerful enough to change the U. S. health care systems. This book begins curing the system by explaining how Balanced Choice works and what needs to be done.

American Healthcare: A Moderate Approach is a political outsider's examination of the modern American healthcare crisis. The focus of the book tends towards the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, better known as Obamacare. The book explores the vast differences between healthcare and health insurance and challenges the reader to consider who benefits most from the installation of state-mandated health insurance. It also scrutinizes the corporate-influenced positions that both Republicans and Democrats have used to warp the political discussion around healthcare. Above all, the book strongly acknowledges that there is a need to reform the healthcare policies of the United States and provides a number of reasonable, common-sense approaches towards fixing the system. None of these solutions involve kowtowing to corporate interests.
Surprisingly, America ranks 54 worldwide in access to health care. Solving the American Health Care Crisis lays open the issues, challenges Americans to think for themselves, and reveals how learning from other countries can help to create, truly, the best health care system in the world. In the span of his career as an international businessman and entrepreneur, Umang Malhotra has voyaged through nearly eighty countries and he shares his vast knowledge of health care in other nations. In a commonsense book aimed at the public and policymakers alike, he provides a fresh, unbiased view of the flaws inherent in the American health care system while examining how other affluent nations manage to provide quality universal health care coverage for half the cost per person. After the death of his best friend, who did not have American health insurance when he fell ill while visiting the United States, Malhotra wondered why the richest country in the world treats health care as a privilege, rather than as a basic right, unlike other industrialized nations. He reveals how other countries approach health care while examining the critical economic, social, and political issues that America must resolve, in the belief that we can only make progress when the average person understands, fully, the real issues behind the crisis. The book presents compelling solutions for an affordable, high quality, and accessible, universal system while answering key questions and asking some very pointed ones in return. The reader is left well armed to think the issue through.
This pamphlet updates the first Common Sense pamphlet, and outlines three possible future scenarios for U. S. health care, which represent one-sixth of the U. S. economy and impacts the health and well being of all Americans. Here we describe these scenarios (1) Bipartisan tweaks to the ACA, with the ACA still unsustainable; (2) GOP sabotage of the ACA; and (3) Democrats get spine in support of single-payer Medicare for All, take back the House in 2018, the Senate in 2020, and Congress enacts Medicare for All in 2021.
