Stuart Altman & David Shactman - Power, Politics, and Universal Health Care

Dr. Stuart Altman is the former President of Brandeis University and has been a key health policy expert for every president from Nixon to Obama. David Shactman is a freelance writer who has worked with Dr. Altman on two previous books. In their new book, they give the history of American medical reform to explain not only Obama's reforms, but all the steps -- both forward and back -- of his predecessors.
