Dying Of Health Care: How The System Harms Americans Physically And Financially, And How To Change It

Today, the debate about our health care system is raging, but it often seems too complex or politically-driven for people to navigate. There has perhaps never been a better time to share with the American public a book that explains the state of our health care in an honest, comprehensive, and relatable way. Dying of Health Care, authored by a primary care physician with nearly 40 years of experience practicing in the U.S. and U.K., provides an easy-to-understand examination of the American health care system's major problems and potential solutions. Dr. Hanna explores the all-important question facing us today: why are Americans paying much more per person for health care than those in other developed nations, but getting much less in terms of quality? Approaching this painful paradox through a clinician's eyes, Dr. Hanna first makes a careful diagnosis and then prescribes an appropriate treatment to heal our ailing system. He shares real-life examples of patients and provides insights into the minds of doctors, including how their decisions influence the costs and outcomes of treatments. Ultimately, Dr. Hanna exposes how the system harms us - even sometimes kills us - both physically and financially, and he offers innovative solutions that can work to create the quality, affordable system we deserve.
