| Publisher Description: Virtually everyone in the United States has the opportunity and has the knowledge to purchase food, shelter and clothing. Why should the purchase of health care be more complex than obtaining these other life necessities? Most Americans would agree that our health care delivery system is in crisis. In this short, easily readable book, Dr. Stark provides a brief history of how we arrived at this point, the underlying cause of the crisis, and the options that are now before us. In a logical fashion, he outlines the solutions to maintain the high standard of care we enjoy in the United States. This Second Edition includes updated statistics and reviews the major federal health care reform signed into law in 2010. Dr. Stark has spent his entire professional career in health care. As an active cardiac surgeon, he has dealt with private insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, HMO's and the uninsured. He has run for federal and state office and understands the political hurdles to resolve our current health care crisis. IN THIS CONCISE BOOK, DR. STARK CUTS THROUGH THE POLITICAL RHETORIC AND OFFERS PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS WE NOW FACE IN HEALTH CARE DELIVERY. |
