<p><strong>"An invaluable review of the most important health care legislation in America in this century. The perspectives collected here are thoughtful, temperate and insightful—attributes sadly lacking from most of the discussion in the public sphere of the Affordable Care Act. This books cuts through the rhetoric and posturing to present a useful scholarly assessment of the ACA and its likely impact on the future of health care in the United States."</strong> <em>--Arthur L. Caplan, Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics, New York University Langone Medical Center</em></p><p><strong>"Fritz Allhoff and Mark Hall have produced the single best book on the Supreme Court's decision upholding most of the Affordable Care Act. The wide-ranging perspectives that it includes, from some of the very best scholars in all the fields upon which the decision touches, allow readers to develop both a deep and broad understanding of the complex issues raised by the decision. No one can talk responsibly about this important decision without first benefitting from this book’s wonderful, insightful, and thorough interdisciplinary focus."</strong><em> --Michael J. Gerhardt, Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law, University of North Carolina School of Law</em></p><p><strong>"This wide-ranging book brings together scholars from law, philosophy, and medical ethics to illuminate one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of our time. Eschewing the partisanship that marks the public debate over healthcare reform, this book offers instead intellectual rigor, analytic clarity, and theoretic insight."</strong> <em>--Adam Winkler, Professor, University of California at Los Angeles School of Law, USA</em></p><p><strong>"The legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act will transform our understanding of individual liberty, of religious freedom, and the rights of corporations and institutions. This exciting volume goes a long way in explaining the legal landscape, the philosophical issues, and the likely implications of this landmark legislation."</strong> <em>--Rosamond Rhodes, Professor, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, USA</em></p><p><strong>"The ACA litigation was always driven less by law than by conflicting philosophical visions. This collection examines those visions with unusual sophistication."</strong> <em>-- Andrew Koppelman, John Paul Stevens Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science, Northwestern University, USA</em></p><p><strong>"An extensive legal and philosophical analysis that is edited and written by a panoply of leading scholars."</strong> <em>-- Einer Elhauge, Petrie Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, USA</em></p><p><strong>"This book represents the cutting edge of thought on the ACA. Allhoff has compiled a balanced and thought-provoking series of chapters that relate to one of the most (in)famous pieces of legislation in a generation."</strong> -- <em>Jesse Steinberg, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA</em></p><p><strong>"Allhoff has collected a wide-ranging and hard-hitting series of views on the <i>NFIB v. Sebelius</i> decision. This is a must-have for anyone interested in the legal, philosophical, or public policy aspects of the court’s action in this case."</strong> -- <em>Wally Siewert, University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA</em></p>
