متن يادداشت

American medical care is second-rate compared to other countries -- American health care is the most expensive in the world -- America wastes one-half of its medical care dollars -- Most medical care dollars are spent in the last six months of life -- Better quality saves money -- Preventive care saves money -- America will not ration health care -- Science drives most medical decisions -- High quality care cannot be defined -- Consumers can make the best decisions about their medical care -- Fewer doctors will be needed as medicine changes -- The current malpractice system helps patients -- Managing care is evil -- In America, there is a "safety net" of government programs providing health care for the poor -- People who work can afford health insurance -- Provision of health insurance for employees has always been the employer's responsibility, and will continue that way -- The uninsured get the care they need in emergency rooms -- No additional funding is needed to cover the uninsured; the money is available in the system -- All other countries provide health care coverage for everyone; we should be no different -- Major change in the American health care system is impossible.

متن يادداشت

"Are you fed up with hearing that the American health care "system" is broken? The system is terminal: the bills that cannot be understood - or paid; your eight-minute doctor visit, with the chronic referrals; your own child who was just laid off, and whose family has no health insurance." "These are all symptoms of a dire situation. Our health care system should not be fixed by those in smoked-filled backrooms or the boardrooms of insurance conglomerates. Each of us, in our own way, must be inspired to work on it - whether directly as practitioners or indirectly as voters - or our health care system and, by extension, our own health will continue to deteriorate."--Jacket.
