Read Now How Jeff Bezos Can Fix Health Care: Leading the Transparency Revolution RTF
America’s employers have long had the tools necessary to fix our broken health care system, author and industry expert Stephen S. S. Hyde asserts. Companies already possess the ability to assure consistently affordable, high-quality medical care for their 170-million employees and dependents. Yet they have utterly failed to do it. Instead, they have focused—much like the government—on failed top-down, bureaucratic, one-size-fits-all approaches that deny control to the one player with the greatest stake in the outcome—the medical consumer. If You are a Health Care Professional or Have an Interest in Affordable Health Care, this Book is for You.The solution described in How Jeff Bezos Can Fix Health Care lies in employers extending to health care the same economic principle that has long allowed America’s consumers to meet their equally essential needs for affordable, high-quality food, housing, automobiles, clothes, entertainment, and recreation—control of all the money. The result would empower employees and dependents to make their own medical care choices based on the answers to two simple questions: For my medical needs, who are the highest-quality, most appropriate medical providers?Of those, which one is cheapest?Unfortunately, the current health insurance and medical system is structured to fundamentally prevent us from getting these answers. The book goes on to define the two primary causes of uncontrolled medical costs. Hyde explains why they exist and how a single large entrepreneurial employer—like Jeff Bezos—could use empowered employees and modern information technology to slash health care costs by half while doubling medical quality.As the rapid rise of high-deductible health plans has made clear to a growing number of people, the lack of price transparency has resulted in patients having to pay excessive prices for services and drugs they could have received for much less.Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to Help Make Health Care Affordable for Everyone.Unlike gridlocked government, employers are in a position to fix this. The only thing needed to get started is a single innovative employer—Hyde calls it Employer Zero—to step up and create a completely new solution that reveals real provider prices while motivating employees to choose all their care on the basis of quality and price. Although the book does get a bit technical in places, it should be readily comprehensible to a broad range of readers, especially anyone interested in or involved in the health care system. If Hyde’s plan reaches implementation, it promises to be extremely disruptive as by killing waste (and jobs), improving quality (and exposes bad doctors), eliminating the need for value-subtracting intermediaries (and more jobs), and forcing down the prices of prescription drugs (and drug-makers’ stocks). Whether you believe such a wholesale change can occur, How Jeff Bezos Can Fix Health Care, is also a useful text for understanding the inner workings of the seamy business underbelly of our dysfunctional health care system.Will You be Part of the Transparency Revolution in Health Care?If you are ready to invest some time into seeing a vision into the future of health care management and affordability for all, click the BUY NOW button at the top of this page.
