The Freedom Plan: An America Answer to Health Care Reform (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484014752)

Across the political spectrum, here is what readers say about THE FREEDOM PLAN: An American Answer to Health Care Reform: "By reading this book, even I can understand what is wrong with health care in our country. I now also understand how it can be fixed. Dr. Perry has done a great service in writing this book. I wish all who are really concerned would read it. Bravo, Dr. Perry." M. Semcheski, Aerospace Project Manager, New Jersey "The Freedom Plan delivers an invaluable history of how America became mired in the current health care crisis and then proposes a reasonable alternative to Obamacare. His solution is a plan whereby patients and doctors reestablish the direct relationship that has been corrupted by the interposition of big insurance companies into health care decisions. Moreover, he has a practical solution to pay for health care that eliminates much of the inefficiency embedded in the current system." C.M. Pushaw, Novelist, Pennsylvania "I recommend this book to all who are thinking that the government health care is good. I especially would like people in the medical field to read it." L. Beckman, teacher, Phoenixville, PA "A refreshing perspective from a practicing physician which drives to the heart of the matter - the loss of liberty and freedom in the very decisions of one of the most personal aspects of our daily lives: choosing the type of medical care and from whom and how much we think it is worth based upon free market principles. I found it to be ... easy-to-read, with many analogies and anecdotes that affirm everyday life. Dr. Perry takes the reader on a much needed, albeit short, history lesson of how we ended up in this mess .... He then provides a comprehensive game plan. Will it be an easy fix? That answer remains to be seen. Is it doable? Yes. Have an open mind and take a serious, hard look at what it means to be truly free. With freedom comes responsibility." Teresa Shelton, ret., USN, LT, NC "Dr. Perry has dissected the issues of healthcare in America, explains them in easy to understand language, then lays out a comparatively simple and well-conceived plan to change the areas of dysfunction that have brought our country and its healthcare to near disaster. His plan touches all of the areas that I, as a practicing family physician, have moaned and whined about to those who would listen for the past two decades. The plan will be difficult to implement, for no one wants change or hardship. No one wants sacrifice when the status quo is easier, and no one in government wants to hear that they have screwed it all up for so many years. "There are plenty of culprits in the many problems of our healthcare; the most important is the one you see in the mirror every day. Dr. Perry is right, it is up to us to make intelligent sacrifices and demand it of others to make a better place for our children and grandchildren. "THE FREEDOM PLAN is a straight-forward read. It is not highly technical so as to confuse, as many concepts are explained as comfortably and casually as if he were having coffee with you. I wish him luck in spreading his message and wish that we could get copies of this in ALL legislators' hands, from the state to the federal level. As you interpret his words, you see his intentions; he cares greatly about the direction of the country. He is a patriot." Jeffrey Baker, M.D., State College, Pennsylvania "Dr. Perry is trying to humanize the human race once again..." P. Webber, Ibiza, Spain CAUTION: Proceed at your own peril. This book is not for the faint-hearted. Reading THE FREEDOM PLAN will change the way you think forever.
