Aus dem Klappentext

Health care in the US is a $1.4 trillion per year fiasco. The imposition of the nation's employers, major insurance companies, investment bankers, insurance brokers, and countless other corporate middlemen into the financing and delivery of medicine aggravates rather than resolves the fundamental structural problems that cripple the US health care system and doom the market's ability to fix it. Managed care is the clearest proof of the essential market failures that characterize medical care in the US. This book attempts to answer questions such as: - who's in charge of America's health care system? - how does manage care work and not work? - how have hospitals become so complex? - what are the prospects for reform? - does the internet change anything?
