How does it work? does it truly serve the people? Is it broken, and if so, can it ever be fixed? In this remarkable book, two of America's best-known journalists use their unparalleled access to the major players to examine The System, specifically as it operated during the ferocious battle over the Clinton effort to provide universal health insurance for Americans - and they come to some startling conclusions about America's future. . . . of vital importance to every American and is certain to become a classic in years to come.""
