His account will guide you through the entire story, from the earliest presidential campaign debates -- and his firsthand experiences in the Obama team -- through the battles on Capitol Hill to solve our most serious health care problems.  Not simply a book about policy, Daschle's narrative describes in vivid detail how fragile the support in Congress was at every step of the way, as well as the frantic efforts to design a rescue strategy before time ran out.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining his insights as a health care expert and his political expertise, this is the inside story about how the new legislation came together: from the persistence of President Obama to the subsequent efforts--and counter efforts--within the Senate and the House.  In Daschle's hands, this becomes a dramatic personal story and a remarkable lesson in politics at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\"A useful view of how laws are made and a good explanation of what health-care reform entails, including a year-by-year breakdown of future benefits.\" —\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780312643782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Thomas Dunne Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40593503355086,"sku":"9780312643782","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_0ccd2f17-04e2-43d1-8ce5-de6a0012e6e2.jpg?v=1637789332","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780312643782","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
