Synopsis

Extensive research indicates that 3 million Americans are harmed every year by unnecessary medical treatments, resulting in 431,200 deaths. More of our citizens die from these causes every four years alone, than have died in all wars throughout our nation’s entire history. In the process, we waste $1.5 trillion on expenses that offer no benefit to our quality of health. Health Care without Corruption explores the root cause of our health care disaster and proposes a radical, yet surprisingly simple solution. After half a century as a physician and researcher, Dr. Behzad Mohit outlines the framework for a private, nonprofit health care cooperative to place power back in the hands of patients and their doctors. His plan reclaims the advantages of the free market in the interest of the patient, rather than pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and for-profit health care providers.
