    Road Map to Improvements in US Health Care Deliveryby MikeyLisa

    Reader Rating:
    See Detailed Ratings

    August 29, 2009: This is an excellent book that every legislator and chief executive must read and absorb. In a third of the pages it takes the US Congress to promote an ineffective and expensive plan that merely mimicks European-style single-payer health care, Christensen, Grossman and Hwang map out well-argued, well-documented, well-reasoned innovations to the health care system, its delivery mechanism, and its funding. Based in market-driven solutions, the concepts presented in this book free those who participate in this area of our economy (that is, ALL of us) to allow health care to be treated as an economic sector, and not merely a social service. A MUST READ for legislators, practitioners and patients.
