Official synopsis Publisher
Can you solve America’s health care crisis? Do you have a plan that would serve the people, fix spending, and bring prosperity back to our country?
These are the questions the newly elected president, Andrew Cannon, poses to the public.
Six years after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, time has shown it is not the answer. To come up with an effective solution, President Cannon sets up an open, Nobel-style competition inviting contestants to develop plans and post them on the White House website for the American people to choose a winner.
The president’s top-pick for the competition is Chris Drummond, a consultant and grad student whose life is turned upside down when his daughter, Sarah, is denied a lung transplant because her blood work indicates a drinking problem.
As Drummond tries to formulate a viable plan in time to save his daughter’s life, Kicking the Can exposes an intricate web of mysterious forces plotting against the contestants and planning a series of assassinations, using Sarah’s condition to their advantage. A thrilling, entertaining story, it also leaves readers thinking about the importance of sustainable government and points to the necessity of real leadership both in our country and in our lives.
