Érase una vez un grupo de libertarios que idearon el Proyecto Free Town, un plan para tomar el control de una ciudad estadounidense y eliminar por completo su gobierno. En 2004, en Grafton (Nuevo Hampshire), un asentamiento apenas poblado con una carretera asfaltada, se hizo realidad ese plan. La financiación pública de casi todo se redujo: del cuerpo de bomberos, la biblioteca, la escuela. Las leyes estatales y federales no desaparecieron, pero se hicieron más silenciosas: suaves sugerencias que apenas se oían en la espesura del pueblo. Los osos, en cambio, eran cada vez más visibles.

Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness.

It's no secret that American health care has become too costly and politicized to help everyone. So where do you turn if you can't afford doctors, or don't trust them? In this book, Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling examines the growing universe of non-traditional treatments—including some that are really non-traditional. With costs skyrocketing and anti-science sentiment spreading, the so-called "medical freedom" movement has grown. Now it faces its greatest challenge: going mainstream.
