El autor es la voz y pensamiento de una experiencia que cuenta, en primera persona y con humano detalle, los acontecimientos que se dieron desde el vertiginoso secuestro y la lentitud de una temporalidad que matiza todo su cautiverio. El relato se inicia, pasados ya unos meses, en un momento dramático: la partida de uno de sus compañeros de cautiverio, y con ello el agobiante presentimiento de sentir que quizás su liberación no llegue nunca, el golpe que la soledad le propicia en esa impotencia en la que su única posibilidad es esperar, y en esa espera, las dudas, los reproches a sí mismo, la incredulidad hacia los otros, la resignación, la fe que tanto ayuda, pero que a veces también se quiebra, los signos y las señales milagrosas, la infaltable desesperación y especialmente su diálogo interno, pleno de contradicciones y de indagaciones frente a la suerte que está en manos de sus secuestradores y de sus familiares.

"From Few to Many is the first comprehensive look at Colombia's 1993 health system reforms. It describes the implementation of universal health insurance, including a subsidized system for the poor, and examines the impact of this and other reforms during a time when Colombia experienced crushing recession and internal conflict that displaced half a million people." "Prior to the reforms, a quarter of the Colombian population had health insurance. Subsidies failed to reach the poor, who were vulnerable to catastrophic financial consequences of illness. Yet by 2008, 85 percent of the population benefited from health insurance." "From Few to Many describes the challenges and benefits of implementing social health reforms in a developing country, exploring health care financing, institutional reform, the effects of political will on health care, and more. The reforms have provided important lessons not only for continued reform in Colombia, but also for other nations facing similar challenges." --Book Jacket.
