Who Killed Healthcare? America's $2 Trillion Medical Problem, Hardcover

Who Killed Healthcare? America's $2 Trillion Medical Problem - And the Consumer-Driven Cure: America's $1.5 Trillion Dollar Medical Problem--And the Consumer-Driven Cure (Hardcover) A renowned authority from Harvard Business School confronts America's health care crisis--and how, through a consumer-driven system, insurance money would be put in the hands of the patient, remove the middle man in patients' relationships with their doctors, and give employers cost relief. In the battle for U.S. health care, patients and doctors are losing. Who Killed Health Care? shows how to win the war. One of the nation's most respected health care analysts, Regina Herzlinger exposes the motives and methods of those who have crippled America's health care system-figures in the insurance, hospital, employment, governmental, and academic sectors. She proves how our current system, which is organized around payers and providers rather than the needs of its users, is dangerously eroding patient welfare and is pushing costs out of the reach of millions.
