| Summary: | In this impassioned and often vitriolic book - a follow-up to the author's bestselling Bleeding Edge: The Business of Health Care in the New Century - U.S. health care industry expert J.D. Kleinke offers an unflinching look at our broken health care system. Throughout the book, Kleinke - who was once a vocal advocate of the managed health care system - explains what went wrong and attempts to answer such perplexing questions as:<br> <br> Who's in charge of the American health care system?<br> How does managed care work . . . or not work?<br> Why have hospitals become so complex?<br> What are the prospects for reform?<br> Does the Internet change anything?<br> Can we solve the growing problem of the uninsured? |
