The Heart of Power

"David Blumenthal and James Morone break new ground in our understanding of health policymaking in the White House, notably the tie between presidential policy actions and the personal medical problems that have faced each of our Presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt. Once again, the nation faces the urgent need for health reform, and "Heart of Power" is essential reading for anyone who cares about improving our health care system to meet the challenges of the 21st century."--Senator Edward M. Kennedy
