Hello-
Newsweek (April 5, 2004) had an article on page 50 about a book called
"Understanding Health Care" by Richard Saul Wurman.  The article was
titled Health Care Made Easy- A smart graphic guide through the medical
maze.  Has anyone read this book?  Is it applicable for lower-literacy
audiences?
