The Cure
We are surrounded by medical miracles: polio has been eradicated; childhood leukemia is now treatable; death by cardiovascular disease has declined by two-thirds in the last fifty years.

In this path-breaking book--Nobel laureate Milton Friedman calls it "fascinating and thorough"--Dr. David Gratzer goes to the heart of the problem, showing that the crisis in American health care stems largely from its addiction to outmoded and discredited economic ideas. What needs to be done? Dr. Gratzer mounts a bold and provocative argument, rejecting the con...

Code Blue
Will medicare be there when I need it? Increasingly, Canadians are asking themselves this question. We hear the horror stories every day: hospital hallways lined with patients; long waiting lists for cancer treatment; a shortage of high-tech equipment. No wonder confidence in medicare, Canada’s most cherished social program, has fallen to a historic low. In Code Blue: Reviving Canada’s Health Care System, David Gratzer takes a close look at our health care system — from the overcrowded emergency rooms of Montreal hospitals, to the thriving practices of Canadian doctors who have decided to head south. He explores our misconceptions about the American health care system, analyzes demogra...
Why Obama's Government Takeover of Health Care Will Be a Disaster
If Barack Obama has his way, the American health care system is headed for a train wreck. In this vital expose, Dr. David Gratzer reveals how a government takeover by Washington will put a massive new bureaucracy between doctors and patients, create rationing, and kill the spirit of innovation that has made American high tech medicine a world leader in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Dr. Gratzer, a first-hand witness of the failures of Canada’s healthcare system, shows why socialized medicine will make America sick. Examining the realities of existing health care in this country, Dr. Gratzer reveals how basic free market reforms can revive the private system we already have, without ruining the patient / doctor relationship, stifling scientific advances, and further devastating our economy. Hardhitting and to the point, Why Obama’s Government Takeover of Health-Care Will Be a Disaster takes us inside Obama’s high stakes gamble with our health care system and shows us why we should be afraid, very afraid, of the possible outcome.

None of these answers are available now. They should be, and they can be. But to get there we must first correct the fundamental market and regulatory failure that has given us 7 decades of misguided actions by employers, government, insurers, medical providers, and consumers to produce the dysfunctional mess we have today. Hyde reveals how we can have affordable, portable health insurance and high-quality health care for everyone, and How we can double medical quality at half the cost Why the government must adopt 3 critical regulatory reforms The 7 key elements of health care reform to achieve 8 essential goals

America has wealth, innovation, and access to the best of everything. So why is our health-care system so broken? Why does it cost more than ever and deliver less? How do we solve the problems of the uninsured and seniors who lack drug coverage?
