Beyond the outrageous expense, the quality of care varies wildly, and millions of Americans can't get care when they need it. This is bad for patients, bad for doctors, and bad for business.

In The Long Fix, physician and health care CEO Vivian S. Lee, MD, cuts to the heart of the health care crisis. The problem with the way medicine is practiced, she explains, is not so much who's paying, it's what we are paying for. Insurers, employers, the government, and individuals pay for every procedure, prescription, and lab test, whether or not it makes us better--and that is both backward and dangerous.

Dr. Lee proposes turning the way we receive care completely inside out. When doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies are paid to keep people healthy, care improves and costs decrease. Lee shares inspiring examples of how this has been done, from physicians' practices that prioritize preventative care, to hospitals that adapt lessons from manufacturing plants to make them safer, to health care organizations that share online how much care costs and how well each physician is caring for patients.

Using clear and compelling language, Dr. Lee paints a picture that is both realistic and optimistic. It may not be a quick fix, but her concrete action plan for reform--for employers and other payers, patients, clinicians, and policy makers--can reinvent health care, and create a less costly, more efficient, and healthier system for all.

Love these shirts
Size: 18.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Persian Blue
Beautiful dark blue color. Soft and well made. Comes out of dryer with minimal wrinkles but not starched looking. A little bit of stretch to it. Does not have the neck extender button. It is a slimmer cut through the waistline for those with wider shoulder but not a bigger belly. It is lightweight especially for FL summers but not thin and see through. Great shirt for work.

Awesome.
Color: Silver Blue Brown
Loved it! I can hardly hear it run, its so quiet! It's very easy to read and looks quite classy. The leather strap has also held up very well to normal wear.

A Great Value for the Time
Color: Rose Gold Black
Beautiful watch that looks far more expensive than it is. The rose gold finish is very attractive, and the black faux leather band goes well with it. It tells time accurately. The only caveat is the date window which is so tiny that it's very difficult to read when not under direct light. I am very pleased with my purchase.
