Oxymorons: The Myth of a U. S. Health Care System

This book surveys the complex history and implacable dynamics of health care in America and identifies a few unlikely guideposts for what we can reasonably expect the marketplace to fix. Furthermore, it proposes broad regulatory solutions for those things we should no longer expect the marketplace to fix. Oxymorons includes a highly practical analysis of why well-meaning strategic initiatives undertaken by health care organizations so often fail—and why others often succeed, seemingly by accident. With its comprehensive survey of the complexities built into the broader health care system, this book outlines what kind of strategies health care organizations can reasonably expect to work, and what kind will not work no matter how well funded or implemented.
