Recommendation

As in his previous work, The CEO’s Guide to Restoring the American Dream, nonprofit founder Dave Chase describes the most egregious aspects of a badly broken US health care system. Few believe they can stop the giant health care system from crushing firms, bankrupting workers and sucking the soul out of communities. Chase, however, offers solutions that have already improved health care and life in the communities and the firms that have implemented them. Referencing numerous case studies, he describes challenging but fruitful alternatives to what is perhaps the developed world’s worst health care system.

Take-Aways

  • Out-of-control health care spending exacts an enormous and growing toll on Americans.
  • The solution proves readily available and as obvious as the problem.
  • Remain healthy by taking care of yourself in partnership with your primary care team, not through hospitals, operations and drugs.
