Product Information
Are you tired of hearing that the American health care 'system' is broken? Well, it is. You can't understand your bill-or pay it; you wait an hour before seeing the doctor for ten minutes; and that was your child who was just laid off, and whose family has no health insurance. Health Care Half-Truths shows the ways in which American health care is tarnished and ways in which it shines, explaining that if we are going to make our health care system work for us we must begin with a common set of information. Unfortunately, our current information comes from sound bites that on their surface seem perfectly reasonable, but on closer examination are wrong. Health Care Half-Truths untangles the misinformation, misperceptions, and confusion that have confounded the American public and our elected officials. Dr. Arthur Garson identifies twenty myths about the U.S. health care system and uses his extensive knowledge and keen insights to blow them apart.

A realistic perspective on our health care system that is highly informative yet refreshingly optimistic when it comes to needed change., Health Care Half-Truths is a fascinating book dealing with one of the most important and seemingly intractable issues of our time in the United States: equitable and high quality health care. . . . The book is highly recommended to students and teachers as well as policy makers, health care workers and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of today's health care dilemma., How exhilarating it is to read a book on health care policy that dispels delusions--that prevention always saves money, that we can stop growth of health care spending without rationing, that doctors always know what they are doing, that the uninsured and poor always get at least emergency care, and the biggest delusion of all--that there is no politically achievable way to extend health insurance coverage to all Americans., I Could Not Put this Book Down! Every American Should Read It!, Health care now accounts for one-sixth of the entire US economy, yet it is misunderstood by almost everyone. By challenging common myths about health care, Garson and Engelhard artfully help readers of all levels of expertise gain a far better appreciation of the strengths as well as the problems of our health care system., Health Care Half-Truths is a provocative and important book--easy to digest and stimulating to the mind! By challenging the conventional wisdom, it forces all of us to rethink what we know about American health care., Garson and Engelhard make a fundamental point that all policymakers, business leaders, and healthcare stakeholders must hear: change is possible. Despite all the myths, half truths, and real-world problems, we can build a 21st century intelligent health system that saves lives and saves money for every American. The authors pull no punches, and by doing so make an important and lasting contribution., A much-needed dose of realism, this state-of-the-policy report should be required reading for anyone weighing in on the debate over health-care reform, especially students of health policy. Dean Garson and policy analyst Engelhard show how both defenders and opponents of the current American health-care system rely on false truisms and lazy thinking, such as the idea that most health-care dollars are spent in the last six months of life, or that consumer choice automatically improves care. Members of Congress cling to the hope that quality improvement programs or more preventive care will save enough money to bail out Medicare and other programs, but Garson and Engelhard expose the flaws in these arguments. Thanks largely to its well-thought-out structure, this book makes a surprisingly quick read; in the introduction, for example, the authors' myth vs. reality chapter descriptions make for easy browsing and reference. The sheer number of misconceptions exposed and the seemingly intractable dysfunction of the health-care system as a whole result in a sobering tour, but the final chapter proposes some sound, if occasionally controversial, solutions. Though more general readers may balk at some tedious hair-splitting, this title successfully flushes the plaque from the hardened arteries of the country's health-care dialogue., Health Care Half-Truths is a great resource for the public and for policy makers as they tackle what has become a mired behemoth--healthcare in America. Whether trying to get in to a doctor, affording the charges, or understanding the systems, healthcare often overwhelms us as consumers as well as those who seek to put forward sound policy. If you want to understand how we got where we are or if you want to start making changes, Health Care Half-Truths is a valuable place to start., Health Care Half-Truths contributes significantly to the debate over health reform by correcting the biggest myths about health care in the United States. Dr. Garson and Ms. Engehard answer the false perception that the U.S. offers some of the worst health care in the developed world and even that preventive care always saves money, for example. By starting with a clearer diagnosis of the problems in the health sector, they believe policymakers will be able to build on its strengths and correct its weaknesses. The book gives policymakers a big dose of reality to guide their decisions., Before one can make a cure, one has to get the right diagnosis. This book is an outstanding addition to the debate on fixing American healthcare with its thoughtful exposure of myths with well researched reality. It is a must read for the public, payers, physicians and policy makers., Garson and Engelhard...offer an excellent, well-documented text...the book offers extensive up-to-date references and resources separate from the straightforward text. Summing Up: Recommended. All Levels.
