the problems with passion and skill."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"Abraham has done prodigious research, and her grasp of the [Banes]

our ailing health system covers all levels of responsibility in the
medical establishment, and deserves scrutiny by our
administration's health service planners."-- "Publishers
Weekly"
"Goes to the heart of today's problem in just a few words: 'Health
care is treated as a commodity available to those who can afford
it, rather than a public good.' . . . Powerful . . . deeply
searching."--Victor Cohn "Washington Post"

poor. . . . Such an honest and candid account is essential if we
