Radical Prescription: Restructuring the Cost Basis of American Healthcare

The economic focus of American medicine is geared towards maximizing the wealth of corporate CEO's and minimizing even the remotest risk of possible exposure to malpractice attorneys. Neither is a socially useful endeavor. The solution offered here markedly reduces the role of health care corporations, significantly reduces the role of government, and removes lawyers entirely from the practice of medicine. The positions and policies outlined in this book, e.g., less "insurance", less "preventive medicine", less "medical education", are 180 degrees opposite to what has thus far been an unchallenged wisdom.
