"America's market-based health care system, unique among the nations 
of the world, is in large part the product of an obscure, yet 
profound, revolution that overthrew the medical monopoly in the late 
1970s. In this lucid, balanced account, Carl F. Ameringer tells how 
this revolution came into being when the U.S. Supreme Court and 
Congress prompted the antitrust agencies of the federal 
government--the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice 
Department--to change the rules of the health care system. Ameringer 
lays out the key events that led up to this regime change; explores 
its broader social, political, and economic contexts; examines the 
views of both its proponents and opponents; and considers its current 
trajectory. "
