Whole Foods Markets, the State of Indiana, and innovators around the world have used forgotten American ideas to slash healthcare costs by 75 percent while simultaneously delivering true universal access, coverage for preexisting conditions, and an ironclad safety net.
Economics for Dummies author Sean Flynn explains that simple things-like price tags, competition, and plentiful health savings contributions-crush costs while granting everyone equal access to the world's best healthcare services.
