I Would Prefer Not To: Life and Livelihood in the Confluence of Bureaucracy, Healthcare, and Politic

Reg Darling spent thirty years working in state government where the issues of healthcare, health insurance, and bureaucracy live, entangle, and collide as governmental policy is shaped into functional reality.
I Would Prefer Not To is a memoir of one person's spiritual and creative survival in a world fraught with ethical ambiguity, paranoia, and stress. It offers an unflinching look at the frontline work of government, political intrusions into civil service, and how male-dominant power structures act to reduce even healthcare to a zero-sum scenario.
