A Look Back at Battle of Obamacare

Williams (Compromised, 2015), a former three-term Washington state representative and a former deputy insurance commissioner, follows up on his debut effort, which charted the initial passage of Obamacare. Here, he offers an intelligent and thought-provoking examination of the health care legislation's strategic implementation, as well as its obstacles, including repeal efforts. The book focuses on the period from 2009 to 2017, winding through the act's serpentine specifics. Along the way, Williams looks at the collective history of four presidential administrations and their advocacy for health care reform.
