About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

Thomas Sowell has a good and lengthy chapter on health care in his book, Applied Economics.
Doug:
Don't know of a book but this months Imprimis from Hillsdale has a pretty article. The article is "A Prescription for American Health Care," by John Goodman.
Oh, I'm so glad you asked.
Sally C. Pipes has a great new book out that is recommended by Thomas Sowell.
The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care
Sowell's review:

Here is what I have in my office:
The Cure by David Gratzer
Who Killed Health Care by Regina Hertzlinger
A book on a related theme:
Stephen Kiernan's Last Rights: Rescuing the End of Life from the Medical System.
Kiernan argues for more alternative forms of healthcare for the aging and dying.
The OECD is one of the best sources of data on the healthcare systems of the first world
http://www.oecd.org/health/hcqi
http://www.oecdobserver.org/ contains an enormous wealth of analysis
The Kaiser Foundation has an analysis that compares the US to the rest of the world

A book that just came out is recommended by Thomas Sowell, here.
The book is called "The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care", by Sally C. Pipes.
Other books I like are David Gratzer's "The Cure" and Regina Hertzlinger's "Who Killed Health Care?".
The Gurus, the Young Man and Elder Paisius by: Dionysius Farasiotis
The book is a true blessing to Christianity, difficult to put down as it reads like a novel.
The author makes his detailed confession of involvement with the ashrams and gurus of India.
He clearly shows his struggle on his path of repentance and return to the Risen Lord
