Health Care Reform Now!: A Prescription for Change
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Aug 2007, Pages: 384
The United States spends more money on health care by far than any other country and yet nearly 50,000,000 Americans are uninsured at least part of the time each year.
Health Care Reform Now! is written for anyone who cares enough about our health care situation to consider serious alternatives to the current system.
In this book George Halvorson—an internationally known health care leader and author—offers a sensible approach to health care reform and universal coverage that can work for all stakeholders.
Step by step, George Halvorson outlines a game plan for a truly world-class health care system that will appeal to policy makers on both ends of the political spectrum and will deliver health care with improved quality, better access, provider accountability, performance transparency, consumer choice, and individual empowerment.
