Healing Healthcare

Autor Robert M. Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback
"Allen Dowling had learned that in politics you didn't really have to be telling the truth, all you had to have was good sound bytes. His brief readings on the matter of healthcare internationally had shown him quite clearly that there is no such thing as socialized healthcare or socialized medicine as the Republicans were calling it. "The American system was a hundred miles away from such a concept but President Robinson's adversaries continued to trot out this dog and pony show. The success of Medicare as a health program for older adults had proven that by delivering care for nearly fifty years now. Even the Republicans knew that if you wanted to start a political firestorm, just talk about eliminating Medicare or Social Security." The history of our times is the history of the computer. Starting with the "personal computer" in 1981, and progressing into the digitalizing of modern media, the computer is the core of progress and societal growth. Despite the starts and stops of the Dot Com bubble, the magnificent "number crunching" machine has produced marvels from mapping the genome to social networking. The real life characters that have influenced this modern evolution are well known: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg come to mind. Allen Dowling is a fictional character who personifies the intelligence and drive of an internet entrepreneur. In the era where the computer is now in most homes, the laptop and tablet computers vie for the attention of a younger generation raised on the mini-computer that is the cell phone. Allen Dowling has taken this wave of social and commercial energy and turned it into vast service networks, first as founder of Allen's List and then as founder and CEO of Coupit, a marketing network. His story is told in the first two volumes of this series: Allen's List and Coupon Explosion. In the third volume of the series, Campaign Victory Goes Viral, he and his team are invited to join the presidential campaign of President Paul Robinson, going for his second term. The assistance of professional computer people like the Dowlings helped the campaign's outreach succeed where others had failed and the election was won handily. In volume four of the series, Healing Healthcare, a new crisis has evolved thanks to the President's adversaries' obsession about socialized medicine. The efforts to provide healthcare to millions of uninsured Americans who had fallen through the cracks of managed care, began to crash and burn due to a flawed website rollout. The story of Allen Dowling and Healthcare begins right there. This is the fourth Allen Dowling novel by Robert M. Johnson and captures the challenges of managing a government for three hundred million people in the 21st Century. Bringing the vast resources of the internet to bear on the complexity of healthcare could make all the difference Join Allen and his team as they tackle the problems of a national healthcare rollout. The country has been struggling to provide adequate healthcare to its citizens for many generations, but the fight has just begun anew. Progress comes at the price of obstinate opposition and downright aggression
