Description

In 2007 David Goldhill’s father died from infections acquired in a well-regarded New York hospital. The bill, for several hundred thousand dollars, used to be paid by Medicare. Angered, Goldhill became made up our minds to consider how it used to be imaginable that well-trained personnel equipped with world-class technologies could be responsible for such inexcusable carelessness—and how a business that failed so miserably could still be rewarded with full payment. 

Catastrophic Care is the eye-opening result. In it Goldhill explodes the myth that Medicare and insurance coverage can make care cheaper and give a boost to our health, and shows how efforts to reform the system, including the Affordable Care Act, will do nothing to address the waste of the health care industry, which currently costs the country nearly $2.5 trillion every year and in which an estimated 200,000 Americans die each and every year from preventable errors. Catastrophic Care proposes a fully new approach, one as a way to change the way you take into consideration one of our most pressing national problems.
