"Review" according to TKT. Very informative. I've recommended it to friends who are applying for Obamacare. Gives you what you need to know to sign up, as well as how it got passed in Congress. This book will dispel any myths about Obamacare that you may have heard.. Three Stars I expected more. Most of what was in the book was common knowledge.. Arthur Worster said The political process. I found this book to be helpful in understanding the political process of developing and getting a new law like this passed. The intrigue of how the process works with all of the special interest groups and the politically toxic environment in Washington was truly interesting. The book also provides a good view into what many of the challenges of implementation will be for years to come. Regardless of your political posiiton, this book is a really good read on process.
