Summary
The “sickness” of our healthcare system affects everyone in our country. Washington cannot fix this broken system. Tweaking what we now have will not make it work. Only the public can fix healthcare. Uproot U.S. Healthcare is written for the average reader. It shows the root causes of healthcare system sickness, why prior attempts to fix it have failed, why recent healthcare "reform" must fail, and how the public can and will make healthcare healthy.
The book titled "Uproot Healthcare" (without the "U.S.") was written just before Congress passed ACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act). That is available in hard cover on Amazon.com and from Trafford Publishing. Though the Act has little impact on my book's message, I decided that any book that explains how to fix healthcare should include discussion of the self-styled healthcare reform bill. "Uproot U.S. Healthcare" is such a book.
At the request of several Universities, Deane re-inserted many management tools and teaching aides that the Editors had original deleted for brevity. These are particularly useful in didactic settings, just as the book itself is an excellent demonstration of the effective application of systems thinking. The text is the same as the original. The Expanded Second Edition is longer by all the teaching appendices and thus is $5.00 more expensive than the original.
