- The Public-Private Health Care State: Essays on the History of American Health Care Policy by Rosemary Stevens
- Differential Diagnoses: A Comparative History of Health Care Problems and Solutions in the United States and France by Paul V. Dutton
- Truth, Lies, and Public Health: How We are Affected When Politics and Science Collide by Madelon Ludin Finkel
- Shredding the Social Contract: The Privatization of Medical Care by John Geyman
- Medicare: A Policy Primer by Marilyn Moon
- One Nation Uninsured: Why the U.S. Has No National Health Insurance by Jill Quadagno
Plenty of perspective on this ongoing, important, and emotional debate…
