Even after Obama, America’s healthcare system is still broken, and it’ll soon bankrupt us all. The solution: radical simplification. Now, leading healthcare expert and entrepreneur Dr. Doug Perednia reveals the system’s shocking, unnecessary inefficiencies--and outlines a simple, logical, complete solution that offers greater security, enhances competition, and will save trillions.

“Finally, a healthcare system that works! Overhauling America’s Healthcare Machine is a superbly written book on what it takes to reduce administrative bloat, simplify the system, slash costs, and give all Americans sustainable medical and financial security.”
–William Bernstein, Bestselling author of A Splendid Exchange and The Birth of Plenty
“Scholarly both in thinking and writing. A terrific accomplishment.”
–Dr. Donald A.B. Lindberg, Director, National Library of Medicine
Bureaucratic complexity is smothering America’s healthcare system–pointless, costly, wasteful complexity created by both the government and insurance companies. In Overhauling America’s Healthcare Machine, leading physician, healthcare expert, and entrepreneur Douglas A. Perednia, M.D., systematically identifies worthless overhead that is making healthcare inaccessible to millions, driving providers from practice, and bankrupting America. Then, he shows how to design a far simpler system that delivers care to everyone by drawing on the best of both free markets and carefully crafted public initiatives.
The Obama “healthcare reform” involved more than 2,000 pages of special interest-friendly legislation. It mandates 168 new federal committees and programs, which reflects even higher healthcare spending and billions in new taxes. Yet, the system is still utterly broken–and unless it’s fixed, it will break us all. Perednia offers a better way: a logical, comprehensive, and nonpartisan approach that gives providers and patients both security and freedom, enhances competition, and will save more than $570 billion each year.
Why we spend twice as much on healthcare–without better results
The real reasons American healthcare costs more without delivering more
Where does all the money go–and why?
Uncovering the insane waste and bureaucracy pervading American healthcare
Scrubbing the sand out of the gears
Eliminating the worthless tasks, processes, and rules that cause soaring costs
Focusing spending where it will do the most good
Getting the greatest medical benefit from limited dollars
