THE DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICAN MEDICINE/Finding a Cure for a Terminal System From The Introduction: During the recent Supreme Court battle, great emphasis was placed on access to health care and insurance -- but health insurance reform is not the same as healthcare reform. Nothing fundamental has changed, meanwhile, about costs that will continue to skyrocket. The major businesses, including the legal industry, will obtain enormous financial gains from the new laws and regulations. The mandate to some 45 million middle-class Americans to buy insurance is another corporate giveaway. The pharmaceutical and insurance interests want to make more money off a sick population, but the system under them atrophies, it does not grow. The more the economy and the health of Americans deteriorate, the more money these businesses manage to make via the politicians they buy out. But such a system has no future as the predator ultimately drains the host. The compensatory measure is to go to Congress to get laws passed that force people to pay these companies anyway -- like the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, or the mandatory insurance law set to go into effect in 2014. This book offers some dramatic possibilities for a turnaround in our healthcare system, and not just in health insurance. The author, a doctor with 45 years of experience in American medicine, shows us how we can reverse our current, swift decline. His agenda is both comprehensive and profound.
