The situation for doctors, patients, caregivers, and even the insured will move from dysfunctional to a complete breakdown over the next decade. In one of many examples Geyman cites, as employers cut costs in a global economy, the cost of health insurance as a proportion of wages is rising to the point where it will consume all average household income by 2025.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391166714129,"sku":"CIN1567513964G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1567513964.jpg?v=1751309315"},{"product_id":"human-face-of-obamacare-book-m-d-john-geyman-9781938218026","title":"The Human Face of Obamacare","description":"This book shows the human face of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or ObamaCare) as the stories\r of real patients and their families best illustrate continuing problems of our health care system.\r Although the ACA has helped many millions of people, it has fallen far short of what is needed to \r improve access, affordability, and quality of U.S. health care. Much of our population still\r cannot afford health care, and there is no cost containment in sight. Underinsurance is the new\r norm, with narrowed networks, high deductibles, and increasing cost-sharing forcing many people\r to forgo necessary care.\r \r This is a comprehensive, non-partisan, objective look at the ACA almost six years after its passage. \r The big question now is: What next?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394331709713,"sku":"CIN1938218027G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1938218027.jpg?v=1751062402"},{"product_id":"crisis-in-u-s-health-care-book-m-d-john-geyman-9781938218156","title":"Crisis in U.S. Health Care","description":"The problems of U.S. health care are of intense public interest today. The debate over where to go next to rein in costs and improve access to quality health care has become bitterly partisan, with distorted rhetoric largely uninformed by history, evidence, or health policy science. Based on present trends, our expensive dysfunctional system threatens patients, families, the government, and taxpayers with future bankruptcy. This book takes a 60-year view of our health care system, from 1956 to 2016, from the perspective of a family physician who has lived through these years as a practitioner in two rural communities, a professor and administrator of family medicine in medical schools, a journal editor for 30 years, and a researcher and writer on health care for more than four decades. There has been a complete transformation of health care and medical practice over that time from physicians in solo or small group practice and community hospitals to an enormous, largely corporatized industry that has left behind many of the traditions of personalized health care. This is an objective, non-partisan look at the major trends changing U. S. health care over these years, ranging from increasing technology and uncontrollable costs to depersonalization and changing ethics in medicine and health care. This book points out some of the highs-and lows-of these changes over the years, which may surprise some readers. It also compares the three basic alternatives for health care reform currently being debated.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403287400721,"sku":"CIN1938218159G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53511190708497,"sku":"CIN1938218159VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1938218159.jpg?v=1751093103"},{"product_id":"corrosion-of-medicine-book-m-d-john-geyman-9781567513844","title":"The Corrosion of Medicine","description":"The medical profession and healthcare in the United States are in trouble. Healthcare is unaffordable for a growing part of the population, 46 million Americans are uninsured, tens of millions are underinsured, quality of care is unpredictable, and these problems are getting worse, not better. All incremental attempts at reform have been ineffective, and the nation is confronting a crisis in healthcare costs, access, quality, and equity.\r \r John Geyman, MD, a renowned expert in primary care and health policy, traces over the last forty years the sea change in US healthcare, which has engulfed the profession in a marketplace now controlled by corporate and business interests. The profession's long history of service-based ethics and its social contract have been called into question as the business ethic of bottom-line profits has spread throughout the system. The deregulated healthcare marketplace, now one-sixth of the nation's economy, has had damaging impacts on health of the public","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51329737621777,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51329740210449,"sku":"CIN1567513840G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53576749449489,"sku":"CIN1567513840VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1567513840.jpg?v=1751087404"},{"product_id":"cancer-generation-book-m-d-john-geyman-9781567513981","title":"The Cancer Generation","description":"Geyman's literary voice arises from his unusual professional and political trajectories: from country doctor to academic department chair and prominent journal editor, and from longtime Republican to president of Physicians for a National Health Program . . . a passionate advocate and scholar.The New England Journal of Medicine\r \r A tsunami of cancer is coming to aging baby boomers, and the health care system is not geared up to cope. We must create single-payer health care before it's too late. In The Cancer Generation, John Geyman shows how we could save over one hundred thousand lives a year if we focused on access as well as continued development of cutting-edge therapies.\r \r Cancer is or will be a part of every baby boomer's life: a parent has it, a spouse has it, a friend has it, or, heaven forbid, a son or daughter has it. How baby boomers reshape what cancer care means in America will define their generation and determine the future for generations to come.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51333022548241,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51333025169681,"sku":"CIN1567513980G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1567513980.jpg?v=1750861640"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-m-d-john-geyman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
