This book is a disservice to research and writing. The information is wrong. The writing is unsufferable. The message is lost in incorrect information, bad research work, and poor writing. This is a waste of money.

this is awful. this book makes so many uninformed assertions.

If you don't subscribe to the "money equals truth" philosophy of modern medicine, if you don't trust corporations with the genetic future of the earth, you owe it to yourself to read this book. The authors cover a lot of ground, and sometimes I wished for more detail, but they succeed in bringing clarity to their hopelessly confused subject. The book is well documented without drowning the reader in statistics. Best of all, it's written with style, instead of the dry prose you might expect from a book on health care policy. Highly recommended.
