Corporatizing American health care : how we lost our health care system

By: Derlet, Robert W Publication details: Baltimore Johns Hopkins University 2021Description: 200 pISBN: 9781421439587Subject(s): Medical care | Medical economics | Medical policy - United StatesDDC classification: 338.4736 Summary: The Author traces the progression of health care policy in the United States. How, he asks, has US health care transformed from bedside medicine—a model of small practices and patient-focused care—into corporate medicine, which prioritizes profit and deals with both patient care and outcomes as billing codes? Arguing that the US Congress is the root of the problem, he describes how Congress has failed to enact legislation to prevent corporate monopolies in the health care industry. Instead, corrupted by large campaign donations and corporate lobbyists, Congress has crafted loopholes benefiting corporations and harming people.
