Other Health Care Reform Books to Review
Latest Publications Will Push '08 Candidates |
|
There are many good insights in the latest round of health care reform books that can help shed light not only on what we are doing wrong, but point to directions we might head. The momentum will surely add to the responsiveness of the candidates for the '08 elections. This is going to get very interesting.
In addition to "Critical," other books we recommend in the pipeline for our book club are: "Overtreated" by Shannon Brownlee, "Health Care Reform Now" by George Halvorson, "Rx for Health Care Reform" by Ken Terry, and "Patient Centered Health Care" by Mike Magee, MD. On it's way to us is "Code Red: Who Killed Health Care" by Regina Herzlinger.
We have started with a thread in the Forum to start discussing "Critical." You can start a thread or just check out the conversation at the CodeBlueNow! Forum. Join us and get involved! Cheers and more later,
