About this title

Synopsis

It is no secret that health care in the United States is managed by a confusing welter of institutions, regulations, corporations and government agencies. Paperwork is rampant at every level, and much time and money are wasted while millions of people go without needed medical attention. For this "system" the U.S. spends about twice as much per capita as most developed countries.
In this book Dr. Bob LeBow tackles this monumental issue with clarity and forthrightness. His prescription for our health care quagmire is a national health program which includes universal coverage, as is the case in every other industrialized country.

About the Author

Dr. Bob Lebow has dedicated his entire life to practicing medicine, serving indigent patients, and fighting for single-payer health care. Before his cycling accident in the summer of 2002, Dr. LeBow was a family practitioner (including obstetrics) and was also board certified in general preventive medicine. Since 1972 he had been Medical Director of Terry-Reilly Health Centers, a group of community health centers in southwest Idaho that served a largely low-income, Hispanic population. He was the first man to cycle across Tibet; a Peace Corps physician in Bolivia, and has worked in over 20 countries worldwide, helping to develop primary care health systems. Dr. LeBow was one of the authors of Idaho's 1992 single-payer legislation, and has run for the Idaho state legislature three times. He is a prolific writer with frequent essays on the need for universal coverage. He currently resides in Philadelphia with his family where he is recovering from his life-changing injuries.
