Book Description Hardcover. Condition: COLLECTIBLE - NEW. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW & Collectible. Scrutiny on the big business of health charities in America, recipients of numerous special government privileges and which feed on the goodwill of inumerable of volunteers. The study reveals a great chasm between the rhetoric of expressed goals, fund raising, and the reality of their programs. Loop holes allow contributions meant for the needy to primarily benefit reigning executives and particular medical establishments instead. Case studies that prove to fall short include giants such as the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and American Lung Association. The authors conclude that these "charities" not only impede research, or at best, play a minor role, but the sponsored "public education" programs are poor. Self-perpetuating part-time boards, excess latitude given to the managers, and ineffective watchdog groups all contribute to the woes. A sorry indictment of philanthropic scene of particular relevance as the country attempts to reform the health industry. An alarming study. Seller Inventory # 001532
