图书描述

At a moment of drastic political upheaval, a shocking investigation into the dangerous, expensive, and dysfunctional American healthcare system, as well as solutions to its myriad of problems

In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast?

Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw.

The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.

美国医疗体系内幕与如何不被坑的宝典

评分

书里很重的一部分是第一部分,也是最让人沮丧的,因为那揭露了美国医疗界的肮脏交易,从医院到医生,到药房到医疗器械的使用,或者说是滥用。而我们最要看的是第二部分,但是感觉作者的计策也不多,如果医疗保险仅仅是生意的话,没有一次巨大的彻底的改革,那么这些小计策也很快就被堵住。所以前程可堪。

书名叫做《美国病》,作者本身是医学出身,把整本书写成了一份H&P,从“主诉:极度昂贵的医疗保健并未可靠地产出高质量结果。”(超过二十个字了!)起,就让人想起被手抄大病史支配的恐惧。这本书很好读,作者有些学术geek的可爱,开篇罗列了十条非正常医疗市场里的经济规...

利益集团从来不是新鲜的事物,本书中描写的美国医疗体系也不例外,法律法规上每一个小小的漏洞都会被其利用来巩固自身的利益,但令人吃惊的是作为受害者的患者群体与美国国家财政对此的反应是如此之小。 政府的监管部门反被其监管的对象所俘获,这种情况并不罕见,但美国的议会...  

评分

作者系统分析了美国医疗体系的种种问题,并给读者提供了一些可行的应对措施。医疗在美帝就是一门生意,追求超额利润是唯一的目的,市场经济如果不能打击垄断,不仅是需要全社会来买单,再加上官商勾结,财阀对政治和政策的影响,最后既伤害消费者,也会破坏社会的稳定性和竞争...
