    2 Books on Health Care Policy
      

reviewed by Theresa Welsh

Americans are clamoring for reform of our dysfunctional health care system.

The cost of health insurance has been steadily increasing to the point where middle-class families cannot afford the premiums. As the chart here shows, if the rate of increase continues, by 2025 the cost of health insurance will consume an average family's entire income! Obviously, this is not sustainable. What can we do? What should our government do? Here are two books that provide some answers.

Read reviews of both books.

Who Invented
Personal Computing?

Priming the Pump: How TRS-80 Enthusiasts Helped Spark the PC Revolution reveals the hidden history of personal computing.
Although people persist in crediting Apple or IBM with inventing personal computing, the idea was in the ether much earlier. In the early 1970s, electronic hobbyists began tinkering with the new microchips and this spawned a modest business in mail-order computer kits. Hand-built, these computers required patience, skill, and a burning desire to learn arcane programming techniques.

Access to personal computing took a giant leap forward with the introduction of the TRS-80 Model I in August 1977. It was the first completely assembled, off-the-shelf microcomputer, available to anyone for $599.95 through 3500 Radio Shack stores nationwide.

My husband David Welsh was one of those hobbyists-turned-programmers. He created a word processor, Lazy Writer, which we sold worldwide; it had many enthusiastic fans who were eager to throw away their typewriters.

We wrote this book because no one else has told the story of these years. We interviewed legendary pioneers who told us amazing tales. This book, with over 100 illustrations and a complete Index, is their stories and our story.
