en Williams Professor of Economics at Baylor, "we should do more for the smaller group of people who genuinely need help. A targeted intervention plan allows us to be more effective without collateral damage to the health care arrangements of the rest of us. Insurance reform and pro-competitive reforms that we identify will reduce costs for all of us while expanding coverage to the 37 million Americans who are uninsured."

Grinols and Henderson urge lawmakers to recognize and take actions based on the relevant economic principles, resulting in a solution that will be viable in perpetuity. In their book, they provide guiding concepts and explanations of their reasoning, as well as detailed equations.
