I think Dr Ansell is one of the most honest dedicated and professional people that i have ever met. His book pulls no punches and let the chips land where they may,This book {county)tells such a true story that only the down and out new about. It brings Chicago’s politics to a new light in a old setting. Keep up the great work Dr. Ansell may you give more Doctors the needed courage to step up and tell it like it was and still is.

Dr. Ansell is one of the best doctors in Illinois, he cares about people not just rich folks, he is a man who believe that all people are entitled have health insurance . Good job Dr. Ansell.
