The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as ObamaCare or PPACA), which was signed into US law in 2010, sparked significant controversy among supporters and detractors. This comprehensive book makes a compelling argument that the changes introduced by ObamaCare, in the long history of government intervention in the US health system, were not as novel or groundbreaking as often claimed.

The scope of the reforms under ObamaCare is vast, encompassing various aspects of the healthcare industry, including health insurance, pharmaceuticals, employers, employees, and the uninsured. The book's structured approach presents individual causes, key assumptions, and the profound impacts of the reform on specific elements or areas of the US health system. One of the key highlights of this work is its in-depth analysis of the phenomenon known as the "death spiral." The ObamaCare reforms provide a unique opportunity to investigate the origins of this phenomenon on a national scale and conduct a broader examination of its consequences.

This book will appeal to readers with a keen interest in economics, management, and policy related to health and healthcare. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that will enhance understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the US healthcare landscape.
