“Phillip Longman has uncovered the biggest, untold medical story of the last decade;
the highest quality, lowest cost health care in America is being produced not by the
private sector, but by a government agency, the VA. It’s a story that will fundamentally
alter the biggest medical issue of the coming decade: the drive for universal health care.”
—Paul Glastris, The Washington Monthly
“In this important book, Phillip Longman describes the turnaround of the VA
healthcare system—now widely recognized as leading the nation in terms of both
quality and costs—and offers insights that will be useful to patients and policy
makers alike.”
—Dr. Elliott S. Fisher, Dartmouth Medical School
“Among the most important social policy books published in the last decade.
Longman’s evidence calls into question fundamental aspects of the neoliberal
worldview—that it’s deeply reported and stylishly presented is icing on the cake.
Buy this book.”
—Ezra Klein, The American Prospect
