I did not intend to write the book Chronic Crisis. I just needed a lecture with about ten slides on successful foreign healthcare systems. I was teaching a masters level course in international health at the time. The research swallowed me whole. I soon saw the American healthcare crisis in an entirely different light. I had no choice; I began writing.
When I began writing I could not find - indeed I did not need - an umbrella term for an entire class of healthcare systems: Multi-payor Universal Healthcare Systems. But these systems are all around the globe. They are dynamic and remarkably efficient. They share a common set of problems and a common set of very successful solutions. The average per capita cost of medical care in these systems is about half the cost in the United States.
I now lecture on foreign healthcare systems, the policy instruments that make them successful, and how the United States could apply those principles and save billions of dollars. Just like they do in Europe.
Contact me. I speak routinely on subjects related to healthcare policy. *** Or Contact: Karen Gray, Publicist
