America’s Health Care Crisis Solved: Money-Saving Solutions, Coverage for Everyone, by J. Patrick Rooney and Dan Perrin (Wiley, 242 pp., $29.95)

THE “ownership society”-a key concept of today’s conservatism-is premised on a reversal of the government takeover of major life-cycle functions such as health care, education, and retirement security, through policies that promote individual asset ownership. Two of the titans of this movement are J. Patrick Rooney and John Bogle, the fathers, respectively, of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and indexed, whole-market mutual funds.
