Publisher Description
In the groundbreaking book Priceless, renowned healthcare economist John Goodman reveals how patients, healthcare providers, employers, and employees are all trapped in a dysfunctional, bureaucratic, healthcare system fraught with perverse incentives that raise costs, reduce quality, and make care less accessible. Unless changed, these incentives will only worsen the problems in the coming months and years. He demonstrates how market forces have been driven out from the American healthcare system, making it nearly impossible to solve problems as effectively or efficiently as in virtually every other type of consumer marketplace. Goodman cuts through the politics to think "outside the box" and propose dozens of bold and crucial innovations that, if adopted, would enable caregivers, entrepreneurs, and patients to use their knowledge and creativity to create access to low-cost, high-quality healthcare.
Customer Reviews
Priceless Curing the Healthcare Crisis is Brilliant!
This book is the most satisfying book I have read this year. To have an author addressing Healthcare in America with the breadth of knowledge of his subject and an ability to explain it clearly is a gift. I have been wearied and angered by the stupidity of the politicians that have forced Obamacare on the country. This book provides the alternative we have long awaited and felt powerless to ever access.
Dr. Goodman has studied the subject since before Hillarycare. I felt for the first time that I could understand why this current travesty of special interest legislation would not solve the desperately needed problem of true reform. I highly recommend this book and have bought several to give to others.
