The goal of the Affordable Care Act (what many people call Obamacare) is to completely remake the nation's health care system. It is the most revolutionary public policy reform since the War on Poverty in the 1960s, with many laudable goals. But the methods are controversial. Further, this reform occurred at a time when the nation's capital is more polarized along partisan lines than at any time in recent history. As a result, no one is telling you the whole truth. Every revolutionary change produces winners and losers. There is some good and some bad. That's true of all change. But in this partisan environment, you simply cannot get objective information about what health reform means for you, at least not from anyone in Washington, D.C.This book was written to fill a vacuum. You need an objective, unbiased look at health reform, and we believe this book will give you that perspective. This book will tell you what you need to know – such as: What if my health insurance has been canceled? What if the insurance exchange in my state isn't working? What if I stay uninsured? Will I be able to keep my doctor? What is my employer required to do? How much of health reform is being paid for by cuts in Medicare for seniors? What if my state doesn't expand Medicaid? Living with Obamacare is written in a straight-forward question and answer format, from the perspective of health care consumers – and individuals, employers and taxpayers paying for health care -- by one of the nation's leading health economists: John C. Goodman. It is published by the National Center for Policy Analysis, the think tank that developed the concept of Health Savings Accounts.
John C. Goodman is president and CEO of the National Center for Policy Analysis, an independent research institute, where he is the Kellye Wright Fellow in Health Care. Widely known as the “father of health savings accounts,” Goodman has written numerous popular and scholarly articles on health reform and has authored 12 books. He received a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University and taught at several universities before founding the NCPA in 1983.
