| Publisher Description: Our health care system is broken, and it cannot be fixed until we answer three fundamental questions. * Who should be included in the system? * What should the system to do for those people? * How much of it can we afford? The 'who' answer completely discredits the medical marketplace idea. The 'what' answer defines exactly what is most important. The 'how much' answer provides a morally and ethically sound way to keep the system healthy without bankrupting the country. The book details the failures of the current system, examines the fundamental issues that must be decided before the health care system can hope to recover, and looks at the 'Global Health Care Budget' to identify a viable mechanism to fund the system. It then outlines the specific steps necessary to control the cost of health care while at the same time improving it's quality. |
