You and the Broken American Healthcare System Barbara Silliman 1. izdevums

You and the Broken American Healthcare System illustrates how one man's medical story reveals America's medical shame! It describes how the American healthcare system violates every American in some way, providing insight into the problems and solutions. The book is written in four parts, including: Part 1: An Upstream Family in a Downstream Society describes Jay's personal struggle for life in the hands of a medical system dedicated to expediting his demise. Part 2: It's All About the Money Honey discusses the money, politics and power in American medicine today. Corruption in Managed care, incetuous relationships among Big Medicine, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and Big Government are all explored, including gain-sharing, FDA conflict of interests, and Big Pharma's deceptive ploys. Part 3: The Third Reich in America explores America's slide into pretend science and the potential dangers when elitist power makes America's medical judgements. This part examines three pseudoscience American studies designed to watch death rather than fight for life, including the men at Tuskegee, babies with spina bifida in Oklahoma, and foster children in seven states. Part 4: Wake Up and Die Right calls Americans into action. This part gives specific warnings about the potential consequences of America's unrestrained corrupt medical system and outlines steps to recovery.
