Gruber is the economist who was the architect of the ACA, also called Obamacare. This comic was apparently written as a sort of guide for the public. It’s unfortunately pretty awful. It summons up complex topics, then dismisses them in a hand-wavey sort of way. The art doesn’t do much to supplement the topic. And, in general, it feels like it was crafted hastily without much thought for the craft of a good comic. Too bad, because I was interested in the topic!
November 8 – Health Care Reform (Gruber, Schreiber, Newquist)
I would recommend Reid’s “The Healing Of America” It is a nice, reasonably in depth read on what other countries do for their healthcare and how it could be applied in the US if you are still interested in the topic.
