As Americans, we know our healthcare system is broken, expensive, and unfair.

Now, let's find a way to make improvements in how we care for ourselves.

In For the Hurt of My People: Original Conservatism and Better, Simpler Health Care, Joseph Q. Jarvis, MD, MSPH, a long-time public health physician, offers practical ideas on how to untangle the messy politics which keep our nation from really reforming how we do healthcare.

Illness or injury should not be reduced to a business opportunity, but instead should be a chance to meet individual need and thereby promote the general welfare of American society.

Charity, in the broad spiritual sense, should be the driving force in how we do healthcare, because altruism better motivates than avarice.

Whether we Americans can heal our fractured society depends upon whether we can find common cause with each other in caring for all our sick and injured.

Join the growing movement for better, simpler care for all Americans and get your copy of For the Hurt of My People.
