Young Richard Nixon watched two brothers die of tuberculosis, even while doctors monitored a suspicious shadow on his own lungs. John Kennedy received last rites four times as an adult, and Lyndon Johnson suffered a "belly buster" of a heart attack. David Blumenthal and James A. Morone explore how modern presidents have wrestled with their own mortality-and how they have taken this most human experience to heart as they faced the difficult politics of health care. Drawing on a trove of newly released White House tapes, on extensive interviews with White House staff, and on dramatic archival material that has only recently come to light, The Heart of Power explores the hidden ways in which presidents shape our destinies through their own experiences. Taking a close look at Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, the book shows what history can teach us as we confront the health care challenges of the twenty-first century. 606 $aFederal Government$gHistory$gUnited States 606 $aHealth Policy$gHistory$gUnited States 606 $aLeadership$gUnited States 606 $aMedical policy -$gUnited States$hHistory 606 $aPolicy Making$gUnited States 606 $aPolitics$gUnited States 606 $aPresidents$gUnited States$hHealth 606 $aPublic Health Practice$ghistory$gUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFederal Government 615 0$aHealth Policy 615 0$aLeadership 615 0$aMedical policy - 615 0$aPolicy Making 615 0$aPolitics 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aPublic Health Practice 676 $a362.10973 700 $aBlumenthal$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01050103 702 $aMorone$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461811903321 996 $aThe Heart of Power, With a New Preface$92491381 997 $aUNINA
