<div><p>“Geyman’s literary voice arises from his unusual professional and political trajectories: from country doctor to academic department chair and prominent journal editor, and from longtime Republican to president of Physicians for a National Health Program . . . a passionate advocate and scholar.”—<i>The New England Journal of Medicine</i></p><p>A tsunami of cancer is coming to aging baby boomers, and the health care system is not geared up to cope. We must create single-payer health care before it’s too late. In <i>The Cancer Generation</i>, John Geyman shows how we could save over one hundred thousand lives a year if we focused on access as well as continued development of cutting-edge therapies.</p><p>Cancer is or will be a part of every baby boomer’s life: a parent has it, a spouse has it, a friend has it, or, heaven forbid, a son or daughter has it. How baby boomers reshape what cancer care means in America will define their generation and determine the future for generations to come.</p><p>John Geyman is professor emeritus of family medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington. He has spent twenty-five years in academic family medicine. He is former president of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), and the author of <i>The Corrosion of Medicine: Can the Profession Reclaim its Moral Legacy?</i>, <i>Shredding the Social Contract: The Privatization of Medicare</i>, and, most recently, <i>Do Not Resuscitate: Why the Health Insurance Industry is Dying, and How We Must Replace It</i>. He lives in the Seattle area.</p></div>
