We’ve Got You Covered: Rebooting American Health Care

Please join author Dr. Amy Finkelstein and former Obama administration official Dr. Christina Romer in a conversation about Dr. Finkelstein's new book, We've Got You Covered: Rebooting American Health Care. The conversation will take place on Thursday August 17, at 2pm, in the Speck Auditorium at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. The Speck Auditorium is in the Rowe Building, at Water Street and MBL Street. Books will be available for purchase via Eight Cousins.

We've Got You Covered, by Finkelstein and Liran Einav of Stanford, presents a wholly original argument and comprehensive blueprint for an American universal health insurance system that will surprise and provoke.

“We’ve Got You Covered is the clearest diagnosis of the American health care system I have seen. Thought-provoking, readable, and realistic yet optimistic, this book should and will reset the debate about how to fix health care.”
— Siddhartha Mukherjee, physician, biologist, and author of The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

“I never thought the day would come when I say this about an economics book, but this is unputdownable. Witty, erudite without being overbearing, opinionated, and convincing–this book is a jewel. If you open the first page, you will want to know how it ends!”
— Esther Duflo, Nobel Laureate in Economics and co-author of Good Economics for Hard Times

Dr. Amy Finkelstein is an Professor of Economics at MIT, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, and a lifelong summer resident of Falmouth.

Dr. Christina Romer was the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Obama in 2009-2010, and now teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.
