Profiteering, Corruption and Fraud in U.S. Health Care by Geyman (English) Paper

Description: Profiteering, Corruption and Fraud in U.S. Health Care by Geyman Profiteering, corruption and fraud are emblematic of our profit-driven, corporatized marketplace and so-called health care system. The three bleed into each other in an entangled way, and they are even increasing.We have to ask and answer: who is the health care system for- profits for health care corporations, their shareholders, and Wall Street traders and investors? for the corrupt and fraudulent scammers? or for patients, their families, and taxpayers? The urgent need for health care reform is at an all-time high as the U. S. struggles to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and the recession certain to follow. We are far behind other advanced nations with one or another system of universal coverage.Incremental attempts to reform U. S. health care have failed for many years. Our broken system is no longer affordable for patients, families, and taxpayers.This book updates where we are with the untenable status quo and compares three major alternatives for reform-building on the ACA, the public option, and Medicare for All. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review The best guide to the corporate driven corruption that has overtaken health care, and how the search for profit elbowed aside medical ethics and the best traditions of the medical profession.-David Himmelstein, M.D. and Steffie Woolhandler, M.D., general internists, health policy experts, and Distinguished Professors of Public Health at City University of New YorkJohn Geyman just keeps getting better. Of all the books I have on health care and health care reform, Dr. Geymans are the ones I keep going back to because of the masterful way he pulls together facts and figures we all should know in a way that makes it so obvious why we need to ditch our multi-payer system. As a former health insurance executive, I can assure you that Dr. Geyman gets it right once again with Americas Mighty Medical-Industrial Complex.-Wendell Potter, President, Business for Medicare for All, founder of Tarbell, and author of Deadly Spinand Nation on the TakeDr. John Geyman, a physician for the people, wrote this lifesaving, health-protecting book to be used in action. With reams of overwhelming evidence so clearly documented and displayed, this book is ideal for advocacy and political action to enact Medicare for All. It will be introduced as H.R 1976, and already has strong congressional support.
