Overview

Bob Smith had it all. A beautiful house, a happy family, a rewarding career, and a government concerned with his well-being. But when his young son collapses, everything begins to crumble. Suddenly thrust into the world of Universal Coverage, Smith discovers that the ideals he voted for have spiraled out of control. The U.S. nationalized healthcare system has quickly devolved into a nightmare of unbearable waits, inevitable fraud, and uncertain outcomes presided over by a disinterested bureaucratic class. As Smith struggles to save his son's life, he finds the only hope is Salvare, an unauthorized hospital ship providing world-class care to anyone with cash who's willing to make the journey. A miracle at sea awaits aboard Salvare if Smith is brave enough to question the dangerous path his country has taken. Time is running out, and in matters of life and death, timing is everything.

What People Are Saying

CYNARA COOMER
"A terrifying look into our future if we allow the government too much control. A must read for anyone thinking that more government involvement in our health care means equal access and better quality of care for all."--(CYNARA COOMER, MD, FOX NEWS MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR)
NEWT GINGRICH
"A compelling novel in the tradition of Animal Farm and 1984 that shows ... the disastrous consequences of government-run health care."(NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES)
STEVE FORBES
"We must not let the Washington politicians turn this well-written piece of fiction into a nightmare reality for the American people!"--(STEVE FORBES, PRESIDENT AND CEO, FORBES INC, & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, FORBES MAGAZINE)
