Why the Healthcare Machine is Broken

This is the eBook version of the printed book. This Element is an excerpt from Overhauling America's Healthcare Machine: Stop the Bleeding and Save Trillions (9780132173254) by Douglas A. Perednia. Available in print and digital formats. How to start simplifying the U.S. healthcare system — so it will work better, cost less, and keep us healthier One guiding principle for building efficient, stable systems is to simplify. No engineer would build a machine with more parts than required–especially moving parts that stress the entire machine simply by existing. Why does our healthcare system have so many parts? Which are most troublesome? How can they be removed–or if they can’t be removed, how might we mitigate their impact?

Available in print and digital formats. Understand how the colossal U.S. healthcare machine gobbles our wealth and destroys our competitiveness--without making us healthier. Ever wonder how the world’s richest country can spend more than $2.5 trillion on healthcare annually, but still not cover more than 50 million of its citizens? Are you concerned that the huge, complex, open-ended healthcare reform law signed by President Obama didn’t solve anything and simply sets the stage for higher costs and more upheaval? If so, read on....

Dr. Doug Peredniareveals how government and insurance company-created complexity is tearing apart the U.S. healthcare system and presents a new model for healthcare reform that will actually work. Leading physician, healthcare expert, and entrepreneur Perednia identifies specific inefficiencies and worthless administrative overhead that is making healthcare inaccessible or unaffordable for millions, driving providers from practice, and adding over half a trillion dollars annually to healthcare spending. Next, he shows how to design a far simpler system: one that delivers care to everyone by drawing on the best of both market efficiency and public "universality." Recent "health care reform" i...

The Incredible Complexity of Healthcare Costs

This is the eBook version of the printed book. This Element is an excerpt from Overhauling America's Healthcare Machine: Stop the Bleeding and Save Trillions (9780132173254) by Douglas A. Perednia. Available in print and digital formats. Uncovering the heart of the U.S. healthcare crisis: spiraling, out-of-control complexity The U.S. healthcare system has become absurdly complex. There is no inherent reason that it has to be, nor did anyone consciously design it that way. Let’s be clear: Excessive complexity is a corrosive force in society and human interactions. Social and business systems that become too complex are inefficient, difficult and expensive to maintain, and prone to corruption...

How Healthcare Can be Saved

This is the eBook version of the printed book. This Element is an excerpt from Overhauling America's Healthcare Machine: Stop the Bleeding and Save Trillions (9780132173254) by Douglas A. Perednia. Available in print and digital formats. Starting with the end in mind: a set of common sense, achievable goals for truly reforming the U.S. healthcare system Our American healthcare machine was never planned with a specific result in mind: it evolved through tradition, politics, regulation, and rational responses to (sometimes perverse) incentives. So, if we’re really going to “reform” healthcare, we’d better decide what we’d like it to do. Here is a relatively short list of goals based upon common sense and the public good…

Available in print and digital formats. America’s stunningly complex, insanely inefficient healthcare billing system: How it works--or, more precisely, doesn’t work. No single aspect of the healthcare system is more inefficient, destructive, and harmful to the average American than the way in which medical services are currently priced, billed, and paid for. It is hard to conceive of a system that is harder to understand, more difficult to adhere to, more expensive to implement and operate, and less conducive to the public welfare than ours....

Think Like a Hamster!

This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill hamster book. It's not a book about how to select, house and care for your hamster - there are already plenty of good books on that subject. Instead, it's a book about trying to get the most joy possible out of a hamster that you're already doing a great job taking care of, while giving it a rich, full life in the process. What's in it for you? Mostly some great entertainment. The antics of a highly motivated hamster can be quite funny, and are usually much more entertaining than the modern television show. Plus it's a great way to get to know your pet in a way that many people never do. This book was written with Syrian hamsters in mind. It is quite possible that most or all of the suggestions it contains for hamster-related activities are just as applicable to Chinese or Russian Dwarf hamsters (or even European hamsters if anyone keeps them as pets), but they've only been tested with Syrian hamsters - the most common type of hamster kept as a pet.

Is America Getting What it Pays For? The Costs of Healthcare in the U.S. Compared to the Rest of the World

Available in print and digital formats. We’re paying more for healthcare than anyone else on in the world. Are we really getting what we’re paying for? To justify the status quo, politicians, insurers, and the media say many stupid things--as when they remind us we have the “best healthcare in the world.” The implication: We’re getting what we’re paying for, and the high price is simply the cost of being #1. But is this really true? Most of these pronouncements are consistently, suspiciously vague....
