Description

Ensuring The us’s Health explains why the United States health care system offers world-class medical services and products to a few patients but is also exceedingly costly with fragmented care, poor distribution, and more and more bureaucratized processes. Based on exhaustive historical research, this work traces how private and non-private power merged to favor a distinctive economic model that places insurance companies at the center of the system, where they both finance and oversee medical care. Despite the fact that the insurance company model used to be created all over the 1930s, it continues to drive health care cost and quality problems today. This wide-ranging work not only evaluates the overarching political and economic framework of the medical system but also provides rich narrative detail, examining the political dramas, corporate maneuverings, and forceful personalities that created American health care as we are aware of it. This book breaks new ground in the fields of health care history, organizational studies, and American political economy.
