Curing the Cancer in U.S. Healthcare
Author: Dr. Deane Waldman, MD, MBA
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1948858878
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Fixing our critically ill healthcare system starts with the root cause: cancer in the federal bureaucracy. The cure for that cancer is called StatesCare. The states know best how to provide health care for their people. The states should decide how to provide that care. Any “solution” from Washington is one size that most definitely does not fit all. California wants single payer. Texas wants market-based healthcare. Why should the federal government tell them, No Can Do? The answer is StatesCare, where states decide healthcare for themselves, and We the People are in charge. A model of market-based healthcare system is described that the Lone Star State (and others) might favor. Neither Washington nor third-party insurance is in charge, as the patient decides both spending and medical care. The Lone Star market-based system, called TexasCares, offers both affordable and readily accessible health care. States might choose a different approach. StatesCare lets them decide what they want, not what Washington mandates for them.

Single Payer Won’t Save Us

Book Description
“Single Payer Won’t Save Us” looks at all the evidence about single payer healthcare systems including those here in the U.S. as well as in other countries. Single payer, universal health care, government healthcare, and the “public option” are all the same: the government is in charge of, in control of, and is responsible for your health care. Objective analysis leads to the conclusion that single payer will not work for Americans.

The Cure for U.S. Healthcare– "StatesCare" and the Texas Model
Author: Dr. Deane Waldman
Publisher: Gatekeeper Press
ISBN: 098476867X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
The entire eBook series, “Restoring Care to American Healthcare,” has led up to this one book: “The Cure for U.S. Healthcare–StatesCare and the Texas Model.” It starts with the root cause of why healthcare is failing and logically says: if federal control is the problem, the obvious and effective solution is to remove federal control. That approach is called StatesCare, where the healthcare system or structure in a state or group of states is decided by them, not Washington. After explaining how and why StatesCare will work, the book gives an example of what one state–Texas–might do with its freedom from federal control, a market-based system. The book emphasizes that other states might choose a different model, such as a single payer in California. State residents should be free to decide their own destiny rather than having Washington decide for them.

Uprooting Racism
Author: Paul Kivel
Publisher: New Society Publishers
ISBN: 1550924958
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In 2008 the United States elected its first black president, and recent polls show that only twenty-two percent of white people in the United States believe that racism is a major societal problem. On the surface, it may seem to be in decline. However, the evidence of discrimination persists throughout our society. Segregation and inequalities in education, housing, health care, and the job market continue to be the norm. Post 9/11, increased insecurity and fear have led to an epidemic of the scapegoating and harassment of people of color. Uprooting Racism offers a framework for understanding institutional racism. It provides practical suggestions, tools, examples, and advice on how white people can intervene in interpersonal and organizational situations to work as allies for racial justice. Completely revised and updated, this expanded third edition directly engages the reader through questions, exercises, and suggestions for action, and takes a detailed look at current issues such as affirmative action, immigration, and health care. It also includes a wealth of information about specific cultural groups such as Muslims, people with mixed-heritage, Native Americans, Jews, recent immigrants, Asian Americans, and Latinos. Previous editions of Uprooting Racism have sold more than fifty thousand copies. Accessible, personal, supportive, and practical, this book is ideal for students, community activists, teachers, youth workers, and anyone interested in issues of diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice. Paul Kivel is an award-winning author and an accomplished trainer and speaker. He has been a social justice activist, a nationally and internationally recognized anti-racism educator, and an innovative leader in violence prevention for over forty years.

United States Health Care Policymaking
Author: Sunday E. Ubokudom
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461431697
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Health care is a very important component of the American economy. The United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) put the 2008 direct health care expenditures at about $2.34 trillion, or about 16.2 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), or an average of $7,681 spent for every man, woman, and child in the country. Health care cost increases have caused very serious problems that threaten to bankrupt the system, providers, employers, and the families that pay the costs that their health insurance plans do not cover. Additionally, cost increases have reduced access to health care services, adversely affected the quality of care, and resulted in avoidable illnesses, premature deaths, and in health disparities based on race, ethnicity, and income. Consequently, health care reform has continuously been on the public and governmental agendas. It is out of this environment that several reform plans, including the 1993 Health Security Act, and the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), were launched. This book examines the ideological, social, cultural, economic, and several other factors that dictate the various measures and approaches employed to tackle the perceived problems. The book has an index, tables, charts and figures, lists of major terms, and review questions for each chapter. This book will appeal to students in Master of Health Administration (MHA), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), health certificate programs, and junior and senior level undergraduate students in political science, public administration, public health, and public policy. In addition to serving as a core text for health policy and administration classes, the book will serve as a supplementary text for graduate level courses.

Pages : 212
Book Description
If you work anywhere in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written to you and about you. It answers two constant nagging questions. [Why does the system I work for make it hard to care for people? [What can I do to fix my most critically ill patient - healthcare? If you are not directly involved in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written for you. The author can give you one guarantee: some day you will need healthcare. When that day comes, you will want a system that provides error-free, high quality care; that you can easily access; that we can all afford; and that offers better outcomes tomorrow than it does today. Uproot Healthcare shows you how to get involved so you can get what you need and want. Uproot Healthcare does not offer Waldman's answer, another fix that fails, or some "solution" imposed on us from above. It provides the foundation for a discussion on healthcare, to create a national consensus, and for us to make healthcare work for everyone, not easily nor quickly, but surely.
