Georgetown Health Policy Institute
(note from a DPMA member, Please note the Georgetown HPI does seem to lean in favor of the PPACA. However, it has been a reasonable source to understand what may be positive in the PPACA, and is good at exploring the health insurance exchanges, but they do not get into the removal of decision-making away from the physician and consolidation of control into the purview of the Secretary of HHS)

Misdiagnosis: A Practicing Physicians's Case Study in Health Care Reform
Dr. Kipp A. Van Camp

It has been hypothesized that the health reform bill will either be determined unconstitutional or repealed altogether. It’s certainly possible that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) may suffer this ultimate fate. The greater problem is that the PPACA currently is the law of the land – so the bill is already being implemented, slowly and methodically, one step at a time, at the local, state, and federal level.

The Inner Pulse: Unlocking the Secret Code of Sickness and Health
Dr. Marc Siegel

Many doctors overlook the seemingly inexplicable tragedies and recoveries that happen in hospitals every day, opting to view them simply as aberrations from the medical norm. In this book, Dr. Marc Siegel draws from his decades of experience treating patients and explores the sometimes miraculous effects that the spirit and emotion can have on disease and healing. The inner pulse is the essence that links the soul to the mind and body, the marker that predicts whether a person's life force is fading or strengthening. This book shows you how to tap into your inner pulse and even how to influence it.
