The impact of those cost increases on both employers and employees will be huge. Workers will see a direct cut in their take-home pay. Millions will lose health insurance coverage completely. Senior citizens on fixed incomes will be hit particularly hard, as premiums for their Medicare supplement plans and prescription drug costs climb. Frustrated and angry, people will soon be demanding a solution from their elected officials, and, for the first time in recent memory, the size of our unemployed population will become a real political issue rather than just the subject of energetic rhetoric. It is time to recognize that we are moving into a major health care crisis in this country, a crisis driven by the way we deliver, receive, and pay for care.
Epidemic of Care offers a comprehensive assessment of the factors behind the cost crisis, how the crisis will escalate, and what can be done to improve the situation. A blueprint for getting to a coherent national health policy, this book calls for a collaboration between different parts of the private sector, state and local governments, and, at times, the federal government— with a formula that can succeed no matter who rules Congress. Authors George C. Halvorson and George J. Isham, M.D.— two individuals who have made an impressive impact on the national health care scene— provide some practical, field-tested, sometimes controversial suggestions about how to make health care in this country more accountable, more efficient, more valuable, and more affordable.

In clear terms, Halvorson and Isham examine why the American health care "non-" system continues to deliver some of the best health care in the world-and some of the worst-at a price fewer and fewer people can afford. The authors do an excellent job of assessing the current health care landscape, how it got that way, and what health care decision-makers and consumers can do about it. In these days of "cost shifting" and "skinny" benefits, their emphasis on health care delivery redesign is a refreshing reminder that measuring and rewarding quality is the only way to truly solve the health care crisis.
By A Customer
Epidemic of Care provides a succinct overview of what presently ails our nations health care delivery system. It demonstrates how our health care delivery system is really a non-system with millions of independent, uncoordinated, and separately moving parts, priorities and vested interests. The result of this morass, more than forty million uninsured citizens, inconsistent and unaccountable care, and the fastest growing and most wasteful health care delivery economy in the world.
The authors argue that it is time for all parties -- payors, providers, consumers and policymakers -- to recognize that the U.S. is approaching a major health care crisis that is driven by the way we deliver, receive, and pay for care. Epidemic of Care offers a convincing portray how this impending crisis will impact nearly every segment of our society, including:
>> diminished take-home pay for America's workers
>> increases to the rate of uninsured as smaller companies drop health care coverage altogether
>> strains to senior's incomes as premiums for Medicare supplement plans and prescription drug costs climb
>> diminished quality resulting from inconsistent or uncoordinated care
The cure -- collaboration between payors, providers, consumers and policymakers to achieve a more accountable, efficient and affordable health care delivery system.
