Summary

Dawes explores the secret backstory of the Affordable Care Act, shedding light on the creation and implementation of the greatest and most sweeping equalizer in the history of American health care. He debunks contemporary understandings of health reform, and explains the law through a health equity lens, focusing on what it is meant to do and how it affects various groups. Dawes argues that ObamaCare is much more comprehensive in the context of previous reform efforts than is typically understood
