One Nation, Uninsured: Why the U.S. Has No National Health Insurance by Jill Quadagno

Quadagno's history of US health care and health insurance is strong, yet tries to cover too much in a relatively short book. It also seems at times that Quadagno phrases and describes events in a way to favor a particular political agenda, but this is generally not too distracting.
