A Second Opinion: A Plan for Universal Coverage Serving Patients Over Profit (Century Foundation Books (PublicAffairs))

Dr. Arnold Relman, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Medical School and former editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine brings together sixty years of experience in medicine in a book that holds the keys to a new structure for healthcare based on voluntary private contracts between individuals and not-for-profit, multi-specialty groups of physicians. Timely, provocative, and newly updated, A Second Opinion is a clarion call to action. If we heed Dr. Relman's plan, Americans could at last achieve a lasting, sensible solution to national healthcare.

Dr. Arnold S. Relman has taught at Boston University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. A member of the Health Professionals Review Group and the Board of Registration in Medicine, he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
