Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US medical environment where medical mistakes, over-diagnosis, and over-treatment have become the third leading cause of death, leadership consultant and long-time charity CEO Edward Morgan argues that protecting yourself with medical wisdom can add 10-15 years to your life. We're a nation on meds, where 60% of adults are now diagnosed with some chronic condition. We're listening to unwise advice and becoming permanent patients. Longevity is declining in America, even though medical costs in the US are twice that of other developed nations. Don't get caught in medical misadventures that escalate into permanent conditions, screenings that cascade into fear-driven decisions, prescriptions that simply suppress symptoms, or worst of all, end up dying in an ICU in the vain hope for a few more days. Smart is not the same as wise. Medical wisdom and discernment will extend your life. Taking today's aggressive, profit-driven advice will quite possibly shorten it. Living to see your grandchildren grow up is your responsibility, not your doctor's. This is a must read for anyone already feeling like a patient for life. With courage and wisdom you can become a well person again and live out your full lifespan.

Download or read book The Healthcare Labyrinth A Guide to Navigating Health Plans and Fixing American Health Insurance written by Marc S Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Healthcare Labyrinth is not just a comprehensive guide to navigating health plans--it offers a blueprint for fixing our broken healthcare system. The American health insurance system is anything but simple to maneuver. Health plan enrollees become entangled in an intricate and opaque maze of confusion, often resulting in frustration, regret, and deep debt. In The Healthcare Labyrinth, health plan and healthcare technology veteran Marc S. Ryan seeks to demystify the U.S. healthcare system, helping Americans become wiser consumers and allowing them to navigate the maze with more confidence and certainty. Marc walks through how the current system operates, tracing the dysfunction, high costs, and lack of quality to three major issues: --a lack of affordable universal access; --little focus on wellness, prevention, and care management; and --outrageous pricing, especially compared to other developed nations. Using his decades of experience, Marc outlines a bipartisan blueprint to transform America's unique system without upending the employer-based system. He relies on leading academic, research, and mainstream media sources from across the political spectrum to examine the U.S. healthcare system and compare it to those of other developed nations.
