520    "Long thought of as an idealistic but unrealistic 
       proposition promoted by far-left activists, single-payer 
       health care has become a major discussion point across the
       political landscape. Bernie Sanders made it a central 
       focus of his insurgent 2016 run for the Democratic 
       presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton. House 
       Democrats messaging on health care in the 2018 midterm 
       elections, and the burgeoning campaign for the 2020 
       Democratic presidential nomination, have elevated single-
       payer even further, bringing the issue to the center of 
       American politics. Surprisingly, however, few books have 
       examined the impact of a single-payer health care system 
       in depthand most of those that have done so come from a 
       leftist perspective supporting this dramatic change. This 
       vacuum in the current literature cries out for a work 
       making the case against single payerone which educates the
       American people about the damaging effects of this 
       proposed health care takeover. Written for a broad 
       audience ranging from interested citizens to leaders in 
       the conservative movement, The Case Against Single Payer 
       will explain the harmful implications of giving the 
       federal government unfettered control of the health care 
       system."--Back cover.
