In the battle for U.S. health care, patients and doctors
are losing. Who Killed Health Care? shows
how to win the war. One of the nation's most
respected health care analysts, Regina Herzlinger exposes
the motives and methods of those who have crippled America's
health care system-figures in the insurance, hospital,
employment, governmental, and academic sectors. She proves
how our current system, which is organized around payers and
providers rather than the needs of its users, is dangerously
eroding patient welfare and is pushing costs out of the
reach of millions. Who Killed Health Care?
then outlines Herzlinger's bold new plan for a
consumer-driven system that will deliver affordable,
high-quality care to everyone. By putting insurance money in
the hands of patients, removing the middleman in the
doctor-patient relationship, and giving employers cost
relief, consumers and physicians will be empowered to make
the system work the way it should. Herzlinger describes in
precise detail how her innovative program will provide
- Smaller, disease-focused medical facilities that
provide complete care for patients
- A national
system of medical records that provides privacy with
confidential access by approved practitioners
- Mandatory performance evaluations of all hospitals
and all other medical organizations
- Mandatory
health insurance with subsidies for those who cannot afford
it
Who Killed Health Care? is a
call to arms that must be answered; the welfare of every
American hangs in the balance.
