"A welcome addition to the literature. Unlike many books written on health care these days, this one provides concrete assistance to real consumers. Pat Rooney and Dan Perrin should be congratulated for taking us to the next level of patient empowerment."--Consumers for Health Care Choices

"America’s Health Care Crisis Solved is far and away the smartest solution yet offered to America’s number one domestic policy problem, the runaway cost of health care. The book’s genius is that it offers ideas so sensible and fair. It’s mandatory reading for those who believe that every American should have the health care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford. Where others whine about problems, Rooney and Perrin offer a real solution."--Dean Clancy, former White House OMB official, who oversaw nearly $1 trillion in annual government health care expenditures

"It has been an open secret inside the Washington DC beltway that Rooney and Perrin have been working hand and glove to change health care policy for the last 20 years. They succeeded where some very smart and powerful people have failed. Whether you are a GOP or Democratic or independent voter, this book will help you to understand, in detail, the coming health care debate."--Scott W. Reed, Republican Strategist and Former Presidential Campaign Manager for Bob Dole

"Pat Rooney and Dan Perrin have already significantly changed the course of health care in the United States through Health Savings Accounts that put consumers and their physicians back in charge of their health care. America’s Health Care Crisis Solved is a must-read book, regardless of whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. This important book explains health care policy problems and reform in language that everyone can understand. It will provide insight into the coming health care debate leading up to the next Presidential election, and more importantly, in Congress after theelection."-->Roy Ramthun, formerly the senior health policy advisor to President George W. Bush regarding health care issues, and Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for health initiatives

"Rooney and Perrin have written a first-rate, easily-readable book on the current health care crisis and provide a rational solution that does not bust the Treasury (or increase current spending!)--but they have even topped their own policy prescriptions with a commonsense set of tips to survive the crisis during the time it will take for our timid politicians to screw up the courage to adopt their conclusions."--Dr. Donald J. Devine, former director, Office of Personnel Management (the U.S. civil service), 1981-1985

Another major effort to reform the U.S. health care system is in the political wind, and we can only hope that those who want to make educated decisions about the ways to change the system will read this book. Rooney and Perrin reccomend changes with an eye towards reinvigorating personal initiative instead of constantly watering the entitlement tree. They just may save the system for our grandchildren before the baby boomers spend it all on themselves. --J. Kevin A. McKechnie
Staff Director, The HSA Council, part of the American Bankers Association

"Rooney and Perrin have accurately predicted every major trend in healthcare over the last several decades. In America's Healthcare Crisis Solved they do it again by attacking the healthcare problem with innovative solutions. It should be on the desk of every policymaker, and is a must-read for anyone interested in addressing the problems in America’s healthcare system."--Ed Corrigan
Executive Director, United States Senate Steering Committee
