A well argued read for the health care debate

The fear of malpractice drives fear in public health care. "Death by Medicine" analyzes the flaws in modern health care, stating that all too often when people are sick and in need, they suffer from medical mistakes in prescriptions, unnecessary procedures, or worse. Gary Null and his collaborators warn that we cannot make health care more widely available until it is tested further, and gives an over half million annual death toll of malpractice as his argument. "Death by Medicine" is a well argued read for the health care debate that offers a more to the point health care reform idea.
