Title: medical fiction....socialist preaching
Product review: The premise of The society is written using a tired formula: Evil Corporations with unlimited power start killing to make $$. The plot is absurd. There are some interesting stories of managed care abuses and shortcomings. Then there are more and more and more. Palmer does a decent job of showing some of the problems with managed care then makes the misguided leap that the answer is socialism! He holds out the Canadian system as the ideal ( I know for a fact that it is not). If you think that socialism is the answer to our problems, you may enjoy this book. If you want to understand the complexities of healthcare and think for yourself, this book is not for you. Again, the plot is laughable, the message is aimed at the simple minded.
