The rapid deterioration of the American healthcare system, and the debate about what to do about it, is generating a maelstrom of news stories, magazine articles, and books. But the average person finds it difficult to make sense of this blizzard of information. Because the healthcare system is large and complex, and because the symptoms of its decline are numerous, comprehensive reports about the healthcare crisis are extremely rare. Comprehensive reports in everyday language are nonexistent.The HealthCare Mess was written to fill that void. It assumes the reader knows nothing about health policy. As Kip Sullivan puts it, The HealthCare Mess is the book he wishes someone had given to him in 1986 when he, a community organizer, jumped into the cold, choppy waters of the healthcare reform debate. At that time, he had no training in health policy. But in the course of studying the healthcare system and explaining its problems to thousands of people, he discovered that health policy is not only accessible but fascinating.The book resembles a textbook in that it treats a complex subject comprehensively, and it is meticulously documented. But it doesn't read like a textbook. The author speaks in an informal, conversational style, he makes minimal use of jargon, and explains what jargon he has to use. And he is not coy about expressing his opinions. He believes the healthcare reform debate has been unduly influenced by big corporations, especially those in the insurance and drug industries. He concludes that the healthcare crisis will be solved only when America adopts a 'Medicareforall' system, a system in which universal coverage is implemented by expanding a reformed Medicare program to all Americans.The HealthCare Mess explains the debate about what's wrong with the healthcare system, and how to fix it, in terms everyone can understand.
