Paperback. Condition: Good. The problems of U.S. health care are of intense public interest today. The debate over where to go next to rein in costs and improve access to quality health care has become bitterly partisan, with distorted rhetoric largely uninformed by history, evidence, or health policy science. Based on present trends, our expensive dysfunctional system threatens patients, families, the government, and taxpayers with future bankruptcy. This book takes a 60-year view of our health care system, from 1956 to 2016, from the perspective of a family physician who has lived through these years as a practitioner in two rural communities, a professor and administrator of family medicine in medical schools, a journal editor for 30 years, and a researcher and writer on health care for more than four decades. There has been a complete transformation of health care and medical practice over that time from physicians in solo or small group practice and community hospitals to an enormous, largely corporatized industry that has left behind many of the traditions of personalized health care. This is an objective, non-partisan look at the major trends changing U. S. health care over these years, ranging from increasing technology and uncontrollable costs to depersonalization and changing ethics in medicine and health care. This book points out some of the highs-and lows-of these changes over the years, which may surprise some readers. It also compares the three basic alternatives for health care reform currently being debated.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The medical profession and healthcare in the United States are in trouble. Healthcare is unaffordable for a growing part of the population, 46 million Americans are uninsured, tens of millions are underinsured, quality of care is unpredictable, and these problems are getting worse, not better. All incremental attempts at reform have been ineffective, and the nation is confronting a crisis in healthcare costs, access, quality, and equity.
 
 John Geyman, MD, a renowned expert in primary care and health policy, traces over the last forty years the sea change in US healthcare, which has engulfed the profession in a marketplace now controlled by corporate and business interests. The profession's long history of service-based ethics and its social contract have been called into question as the business ethic of bottom-line profits has spread throughout the system. The deregulated healthcare marketplace, now one-sixth of the nation's economy, has had damaging impacts on health of the public.…
