N2  - "What happens to a patient when the doctor addresses the symptoms but not the disease? Temporary relief - often with side effects - without a cure. This analogy is precisely author Den Bishop's point about the Congressional "cure-all" known as Healthcare Reform. Bishop puts the sharp blade of his quarter-century of economic and insurance expertise to the task of dissecting how the legislation was passed, what the economic fallout will be, who has been and will be blamed, when and where impact will be felt, why shifting responsibility fails, and what alternative approaches the country may consider."
