"Ok history, strong summary of the law itself"
I would recommend the book as a whole, but I was disappointed in the history of the passage of the act. I was hoping for a retelling that shed new light on the many twists and turns of the healthcare bill. Instead, it was a brief, potted history. Conversely, the second section of the book, which described the actual features of the law, did an excellent job distilling the law's many facets. To me, this outweighed the somewhat underwhleming historical narrative.
