Publisher's Synopsis
American wealth has not improved the health of its citizens. Experts know what ails the health care system but have been unable to fix it because of political paralysis. The dysfunction has ruined families, alienated clinicians and enriched those who are already rich. Sick and Scared examines the causes of this disarray, the dire effect it has on patients, families and physicians; and offers tips for patient safety and physician wellbeing. To do nothing is not an option. We must find a way out of this deep mire. The Seven Pillars for Reform can be a humble beginning towards the goal of decent health care for all our citizens.
