This book truly needs to be read by the entire healthcare industry. In fact, this book is a must read for anyone even remotely associated with healthcare. Because it really can be done better for half the cost, the impact of this book will not only benefit Americans everywhere, but bless the lives of generations to come.—Darrell Moon, healthcare consultant and CEO of OrriantJoe Flower’s optimism is in scarce supply these days, and it may be the most compelling reason to read his book. Flower believes a lot of our health system’s problems can actually be solved, and not by people in Washington, but rather people on the front lines.
