Praise for America's Health Care Crisis Solved "All Presidential candidates--as well as everyone else--must read this insightful book. Rooney and Perrin brilliantly show how the health care crisis can be positively solved in a way that will give the best of all worlds--more health care at less cost." --Steve Forbes, Chairman & CEO, Forbes "Pat Rooney is the man who came up with the concept of Health Savings Accounts as a way to cut medical costs, give power to medical consumers, and provide health coverage to rich and poor alike without either bankrupting the nation, ruining the best health care available anywhere in the world, or forcing providers and patients alike to dance to the tune of bureaucrats with little empathy for either. This book analyzes the health care 'crisis' so much on the lips of politicians these days and provides a solution that reasonable people should ponder as they work their way through the overheated and often wrong-headed solutions advanced by leading politicians of both parties." --David A. Keene, Chairman, The American Conservative Union "Rooney and Perrin have changed the course of health care in the United States, and they did it by bringing Americans the best tax break in the code: tax-free deposits, tax-free withdrawals, and tax-free interest--in the form of Health Savings Accounts. Anyone who is going to be involved in the second great health care debate (the first being HillaryCare) should read this very readable book." --Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform "J. Patrick Rooney and Dan Perrin know that much of what we call the health care 'crisis' would go away if we transferred direct control over the flow of health care dollars from big institutions to individuals and families. How? Enact a refundable health care tax credit for every American; introduce medical savings accounts into Medicare; and make health care prices, especially in hospitals, transparent. An excellent, hands-on guide for consumers and voters, this book comes just in time for the 2008 Presidential elections." --Edwin J. Feulner, PhD, President, The Heritage Foundation Media >, [PU: Wiley]<
