Distills the whole of the US healthcare system into something comprehensible if not logical and consequently, remediable. The author examines the history of US healthcare and details the maze of the unforgiving system; explores the regulations that add more complexity than protection; and discusses potential means of financing.
Whether our healthcare system reached its current crisis by way of fragmentation and misaligned policy or by way of self-interest and shortsightedness, what matters now is that the system is so convoluted and complex that only those intimate with its complex ways can hope to unravel the tangle. Creative healthcare providers and business experts adept at problem solving stand ready to weigh in with viable solutions but first they must be ordained in the terminology and the layers of confusion that have become endemic to the system. Margaret F. Schulte has made her reputation explaining the U.S. healthcare maze to IT professionals, students, and others not savvy to the arcane structures that make up our current system. With clarity that defies the very complexity of the problem, Dr. Schulte distills the whole of the U.S. healthcare system into something comprehensible if not logical and consequently, remediable. In this brilliantly simple work, she—
Examines the history of U.S. healthcare and details the maze of the current unforgiving system
