Why the U.S. health care system is failing us and how to change it

Here are two new books worth checking out...

Catastrophic Care: How American Health Care Killed My Father–and How We Can Fix It
David Goldhill, a member of the board of directors of The Leapfrog Group and president and CEO of GSN, has written a new book looking at our health care system and why it is failing, why expanding coverage will actually make things worse, and how our health care can be transformed into a transparent, affordable, successful system.

The Incentive Cure: The Real Relief for Health Care
Francois de Brantes, executive director of the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute (HCI3), has just released a new eBook to shed light on one of the toughest issues facing our country, fiscally and socially, asking the critical questions about why patients often don’t get the right care, why America spends twice as much per person as the next biggest spender, and why the rules that apply to every other industry don’t apply to health care? The book also provides answers to many of the questions around why the U.S. health industry fails and highlights some of the most promising ideas for change.
