Description: "Did you ever notice that you always seem to come last in our health care system, with its mega-hospitals, giant pharmaceutical companies, billion-dollar insurance providers, and multi-layered government bureaucracy? Well, you're not alone - policy makers and citizens groups are constantly criticizing the state of American health care, and the statistics often confirm their suspicions. The good news is things are about to change, and this book will show you how to put yourself first in the health care system and ensure that you and your family know how to access the best care possible." "With Skin in the Game, authors John Hammergren and Phil Harkins give you a comprehensive overview of the history of health care in America; an explanation of how we arrived at our current crisis; and a preview of the revolutionary leap in care that's coming as high-tech productivity and quality transform health care in America. Skin in the Game offers information and answers that even industry insiders will find revealing."--book jacket.
