Getting What We Deserve: Health and Medical Care in America Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a brisk, lively review of health care in the U.S. Dr. Sommer is spot on in his analysis w/o any political bias. The U.S. spends double what other developed nations spend for health care on a per capita basis. Comparing outcomes, whichever way you measure them (and it's not easy), we lag far behind. Furthermore, per capita costs in the U.S. are deceiving since in the U.S. they represent an average figure from a cost distribution having a great deal of dispersion; some people have great health care coverage, other none at all. In other countries with national medical systems, the avg. amount spent tends to be truly representative.
Many of Dr. Sommer's points are well known. While this book does not purport to offer a comprehensive review and/or solution (certainly not in 115 pgs.), it does provide a great deal of knowledge and insight as to what's wrong and why. Very timely and informative given the national debate that's under way. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
