Inhaltsangabe
A moderate conservative, Dr. Rowland spent his career in public service fighting to resolve political and ideological differences at a time when virulent partisanship was beginning to paralyze the governmental process. His account of the health care reform efforts initiated by President Clinton reveals in candid detail how the nation's most prominent political leaders turned the promise of historic progress into tragic failure. The downfall of health care reform back then still influences politics today. As he points out, it had a significant impact on the 2016 presidential race. Dr. Rowland's story spans more than 90 years from his days growing up in a small Georgia town during the Great Depression, to his experiences at war, to his career as a primary care doctor and then a maverick political figure during a period of turbulent change. And his story is still ongoing. He continues to practice medicine and speak out for bipartisan solutions to critical issues.
