书里很重的一部分是第一部分,也是最让人沮丧的,因为那揭露了美国医疗界的肮脏交易,从医院到医生,到药房到医疗器械的使用,或者说是滥用。而我们最要看的是第二部分,但是感觉作者的计策也不多,如果医疗保险仅仅是生意的话,没有一次巨大的彻底的改革,那么这些小计策也很快就被堵住。所以前程可堪。
评分给不在美国生活的人,对美国的医疗现状有了新的认识。不知道作者背景,感觉有点在为奥巴马医改背书。

评分第一部分讲原因第二部分roadmap,中规中矩,但不知道为啥读得总有点过于“慷慨激昂“…………
Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal was for twenty-two years a reporter, correspondent, and senior writer at The New York Times before becoming the editor in chief of Kaiser Health News, an independent journalism newsroom focusing on health and health policy. She holds an MD from Harvard Medical School, trained in internal medicine, and has worked as an ER physician. She lives in New York City and Washington, DC.
At a moment of drastic political upheaval, a shocking investigation into the dangerous, expensive, and dysfunctional American healthcare system, as well as solutions to its myriad of problems
In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast?
Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw.
The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.
所谓的美国病是具有美国特色的高价医疗。这让我想起来1月份看的日本医疗制度,其中对比了日本与英国德国等西方国家具有全民医疗保险的区别,分析了日本医疗的特点。反观我们国家的医疗制度体系,我认为我国医疗保险和日本的有相似又有不同。日本不实行分级诊疗,而我们从不实行...
评分作者系统分析了美国医疗体系的种种问题,并给读者提供了一些可行的应对措施。医疗在美帝就是一门生意,追求超额利润是唯一的目的,市场经济如果不能打击垄断,不仅是需要全社会来买单,再加上官商勾结,财阀对政治和政策的影响,最后既伤害消费者,也会破坏社会的稳定性和竞争...
