Description
In the entire world of health care, no country blows through money and underperforms like the United States. Despite spending $4 trillion annually, American health care is unavailable to those who need it most, overly promoted to those who need it least, and worst of all, criminally expensive. With multiple corporate middlemen lining up to take ever-increasing cuts, billions of dollars in premiums and out of pocket spending are syphoned off before a penny is spent for actual care. Hospital systems, big pharma, and private insurers all take huge cuts from the prices paid by everyday patients and families. The result? Individual incomes suffer, business productivity diminishes, and for millions, the American dream is destroyed. Written from the vantage point of a Family Physician, the book shows how the nation's health care system continues to veer further off the rails, transitioning from a profession focused on providing patient care, to a bottom-line driven enterprise virtually indistinguishable from hawking cheeseburgers and kitty litter Each year, we spend more than enough to provide care for all Americans. Much like a badly leaking bucket, our system of health care financing urgently needs to be replaced, and dollars redirected from middlemen profits to actual patient care. The book takes a hard look at how our current system evolved, and how vested interests have obstructed much-needed change. With topics ranging from a bloated medical educational system to a well-intended but insufficient Affordable Care Act, the text takes readers step by step through the factors driving health care toward bankruptcy. Finally, the book describes the clear steps that must be taken if the health care Americans need and deserve is to survive in the 21st century. Read more
