Their books are filled with their ideas on what patients, doctors, insurance companies, and the government should do to fix the issues. Gruber Gruber uses a comic book style of writing to simplistically explain issues within health care, and how recent health care reform might help address some of the issues. He uses…

Nobody would get a “free ride” by simply going to the emergency room with no insurance and then skipping out on the bill leaving the insured to pick up the tab through rate increases. 2) Healthcare costs are rapidly spiraling out of control.
