Secret Agent Brink is no stranger to pain. But when he’s caught by the Institute for Global Domination’s maniacal cronies just as open enrollment on heath insurance is about to close, Brink must plan a quick escape before he’s tortured “to debt” with hospital bills.

Like the economy and terrorism, health insurance ranks among the pivotal issues voters will decide on this November, and with good reason: The average American spends more than $9,000 a year on medical expenses — one of the highest rates per person in the world.
