But to see this and to change health care will require enough people to wake up, think outside the box, and take action. We are on a threshold. Health care as we have known it is dying. What we have come to see as "normal" medicine is not "healthy" medicine. To quote Dr. John Abramson of Harvard, we have an "overdo$ed America." Health care today is a manipulated market, not a free market. It is neither effective nor affordable for most people in the United States. In both the public sector and the private business world, it is a top-down, over-controlled system. This must change. Dr. Robert Zieve details how to create a bottom-up approach, which is necessary if health care is going to work for all of us. |

| Publisher Description: Beyond the Medical Meltdown describes the predicament we are in today in relation to health care and prescribes positive and concrete solutions to create a new effective and affordable health care system. These solutions require us to step out of the box and form new economic partnerships of practitioners and patients on local levels throughout the United States. These cooperative partnerships of mutual responsibility are a third force that will take the place of both conventional insurance companies that drain communities of resources and create adversarial relationships with families and small businesses, and large governmental programs with unsustainable bureaucracies and rigid rules. This book will engage the reader with imaginative yet practical solutions to our health care dilemmas. It calls upon us to create something new that serves everyone in the healing of illness.
