Reinventing American Health Care: How the Affordable Care Act will Improve our Terribly Complex, Blatantly Unjust, Outrageously Expensive, Grossly Inefficient, Error Prone System: Gates Notes - Cărți recomandate de Bill Gates

The
definitive
story
of
American
health
care
today—its
causes,
consequences,
and
confusions
In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. It was the most extensive reform of America's health care system since at least the creation of Medicare in 1965, and maybe ever. The ACA was controversial and highly political, and the law faced legal challenges reaching all the way to the Supreme Court; it even precipitated a government shutdown. It was a signature piece of legislation for President Obama's first term, and also a ball and chain for his second.
Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a professor of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania who also served as a special adviser to the White House on health care reform, has written a brilliant diagnostic explanation of why health care in America has become such a divisive social issue, how money and medicine have their own—quite distinct—American story, and why reform has bedeviled presidents of the left and right for more than one hundred years.
Emanuel also explains exactly how the ACA reforms are reshaping the health care system now. He forecasts the future, identifying six mega trends in health that will determine the market for health care to 2020 and beyond. His predictions are bold, provocative, and uniquely well-informed. Health care—one of America's largest employment sectors, with an economy the size of the GDP of France—has never had a more comprehensive or authoritative interpreter.

Recenzii
“Zeke
Emanuel
has
written
a
book
that
tells
people
interested
health
care
policy
what
they
need
to
know
but
all
too
often
do
not.
He
brings
together
a
staggering
variety
of
information,
never
before
available
in
one
place,
on
economics,
medicine,
legislative
history,
governmental
operations,
politics,
and
the
gory,
boring,
and
surpassingly
important
issue
of
implementation.
No
single
book
can
tell
one
all
one
needs
to
know
about
the
most
complex
health
care
system
in
the
world,
but
this
one
comes
very
close
indeed.”

“The author, who serves as a special White House adviser on health care reform, is optimistic that its glitches will be resolved within the year and that it will transform how patients are cared for over the coming decades…He offers an insider's account of some of the infighting that occurred within the Obama administration…The author takes a long view of the reforms beginning with incentives and penalties for the adoption of uniform electronic health records in the 2009 Recovery Act…An important challenge to the naysayers on both sides of the political divide.”–Kirkus Reviews
