Healthcare Problems and Solutions describes the healthcare problems facing America and evaluates three proposed solutions: single payer, managed care and consumer driven. Each has positive and negative aspects and each arises from a distinct philosophical orientation and set of values. Gary Fradin presents case studies of Canada, Britain, Medicare, the VA and Escorts Heart Institute to illustrate the impact of history and social values on healthcare system development. He discusses healthcare system options available to America and articulates the values that each represents.
