The Primal Prescription: Surviving the “Sick Care” Sinkhole, by Doug McGuff, M.D., and Robert Murphy, Ph.D., Malibu, California: Primal Blueprint Publishing, 2015, 362 pages, hardcover.

The U.S. healthcare system is sick, largely as a result of myriad government interventions. Nevertheless, there are things individuals can do to stay healthy and avoid the worst aspects of the system. Those are the twin messages of The Primal Prescription: Surviving the “Sick Care” Sinkhole.

The book’s authors are Doug McGuff, an emergency physician and personal trainer, and Robert Murphy, a free-market economist.
