What Everyone Needs to Know
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama in March        2010 is a landmark in U.S. social legislation. The new law extends health insurance        to nearly all Americans, fulfilling a century-long quest and bringing the United        States to parity with other industrial nations. Affordable Care aims to control        rapidly rising health care costs and promises to make the United States more equal,        reversing four decades of rising disparities between the very rich and everyone        else. Millions of people of modest means will gain new benefits and protections from        insurance company abuses - and the tab will be paid by privileged corporations and        the very rich.How did such a bold reform effort pass in a polity wracked by partisan        divisions and intense lobbying by special interests? What does Affordable Care mean        -- and what comes next? In Health Care Reform and American Politics: What Everyone        Needs to Know, Lawrence R. Jacobs and Theda Skocpol--two of the nation's leading        experts on politics and health care policy--provide a concise and accessible        overview. They explain the political battles of 2009 and 2010, highlighting White        House strategies, the deals Democrats cut with interest groups, and the impact of        agitation by Tea Partiers and progressives. Jacobs and Skocpol spell out what the        new law can do for everyday Americans, what it will cost, and who will pay. Above        all, they explain what comes next, as critical yet often behind-the-scenes battles        rage over implementing reform nationally and in the fifty states. Affordable Care        might end up being weakened. But, like Social Security and Medicare, it could also        gain strength and popularity as the majority of Americans learn what it can do for        them.
