A Priceless Review, David Thomas Nov 2013

A Priceless Review, David Thomas

David Chandler Thomas, PhD

The book, Priceless, is chock full of ideas, many of which are undoubtedly useful. The style is readable, with enough anecdotes to keep the reader’s interest. Unfortunately, the book is almost as confusing as the health-care system. There are too many moving parts, too many clever ideas, and not enough high level insights into how to cut the Gordian health-care knot. As hard as it is to make changes in the U.S. health-care system, it is unlikely the author’s suggestions will find a listening ear.
