Synopsis

Jonathan Engel traces the policy debates over healthcare delivery, and the ways of paying for it, that were conducted during the second quarter of the twentieth century in the United States. Examining the views advanced by doctors, including those unallied with the American Medical Association's position, as well as by "reformers"-academics, public health officers, philanthropists, foundation executives, and independent scholars-Engel displays how the discussion involved much more than the legislative efforts of New Deal Democrats regarding health insurance.
