DESCRIPTION:
A bold examination of the causes, cost, and consequences of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). thebookonhealthcarereform. What happens to a patient when the doctor addresses the symptoms but not the disease? Temporary relief - often with side effects - without a cure. This analogy is precisely author Den Bishop's point about the Congressional "cure-all" known as Healthcare Reform. Bishop puts the sharp blade of his quarter-century of economic and insurance expertise to the task of dissecting how the legislation was passed, what the economic fallout will be, who has been and will be blamed, when and where impact will be felt, why shifting responsibility fails, and what alternative approaches the country may consider
"Den Bishop is to Healthcare what Peter Drucker is to Management" according to S. Harris. Den Bishop provides refreshing insight on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA/ACA). He lays it all out in methodical narratives with illustrative charts and examples that make the complex business of healthcare seemingly easy to understand.There are key takeaways here for health care providers, payers, patients, employers and most importantly those we elect into office. His 12-step recovery (Part Four) in the book should be read by every. "MUST READ!!!!!" according to Jeff Hughes. I cannot begin to express how valuable this book is. Anyone trying to figure out a business strategy to optimize company costs AND employee morale during these turbulent times has to listen to what Mr. Bishop is saying. If you ever have a chance to hear him speak in person, I highly recommend it!! I have obtained several copies of this book and given them away to friends and colleagues to help them understand the mess we are in.Thank you Den Bishop!!!!!!!!. "An easy read, really opened my eyes" according to Claire A. Celsi. I had already made up my mind about the healthcare reform bill. But there were a lot of things that I didn't know about the underlying healthcare system in the U.S. and how much cost has to do with the entire equation. Also, I never thought about how important business owners are in guiding their employees to reduce healthcare costs. It's an easy read, can easily be read in one day.
