Like many political books, Health Communism can at times feel like it's preaching to the choir; much of the material and arguments being made I was familiar with before reading and agreed with immediately. I imagine the book would be eye-opening and engaging for someone who didn't already have the conviction that ensuring universal, democratically-accountable healthcare is available to everyone should be a goal to advance left politics. For me, I enjoyed the read but didn't have any wow moments.
