Book Reviews of Mama Might Be Better Off Dead: The Failure of Health Care in Urban America
Book Review: DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE TITLE
Summary: 5 Stars
As a graduate student writing my thesis on urban health care issues, I must say this book is a gem! Laurie Kaye Abraham makes the most compelling arguments for health care reform in this book while walking the fine line of objectivity at the same time. Now I know I can truly say that I understand why many urban areas suffer from some of the same public health woes as third-world countries. Thank you, Ms. Abraham for inspiring me and thanks to the Banes family for allowing us into their lives.
