Dr. John E. McDonough, DPH, a health policy expert who served as an advisor to the late Senator Edward Kennedy, provides a vivid picture of the intense effort required to bring this legislation into law. McDonough clearly explains the ACA's inner workings, revealing the rich landscape of the issues, policies, and controversies embedded in the law yet unknown to most Americans. In his account of these historic events, McDonough takes us through the process from the 2008 presidential campaign to the moment in 2010 when President Obama signed the bill into law. At a time when the nation is taking a second look at the ACA, Inside National Health Reform provides the essential information for Americans to make informed judgments about this landmark law.California/Milbank books on health and the public ;22.Health care reformUnited Statesaca.affordable care act.america.american legislation.american politics.americans.civic.economics healthcare.health care law.health care politics.health care reform.health policy.human condition.landmark laws.medical history.medicine.modern historians.national health care.national policy.nonfiction guide.policy experts.political campaigns.political science.political.public health.social history.united states.us health care.Health care reform362.1/0425McDonough John E(John Edward)1476803Milbank Memorial Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781207403321Inside national health reform3691586UNINA
