An insightful and eye-opening exploration of solutions to our current health care crisis

In today’s United States, health care for many people remains elusive, confusing, disjointed, and inadequate. It’s also prohibitively expensive for many people who are unable to afford necessary preventive care. And while the problems are widely known and studied, there is no consensus around what sorts of solutions will act as our pathway out of our health care quagmire.

In Transforming Healthcare, veteran physician Dr. Morey Menacker delivers an incisive and thought-provoking analysis of the problems faced by the United States in the delivery of health care. Exploring how we got to this place and what we can do to get out of it, the author explains how the United States can simultaneously be a country that attracts the best health care technology, practitioners, treatments, research, and hospitals but still fails to provide adequate care to large swaths of its population.

Readers will find:

• Insights and commentary based on the author’s decades of experience working as a physician in the American medical establishment
• Discussions of how to maintain the high quality of care found in the United States while improving access and accessibility
• Explorations of how to reduce the costs and complexity of the US health care delivery system
