In The Great American Health Hoax, Francis exposes the truth about how to stay healthy and introduces us to a way of life that can become a "highway to health", while he quite effectively demonstrates that we really don't have to be sick. Then, he reminds us that not only is there absolutely no fun in being sick, but we are going broke trying to pay the cost. Francis realizes that the only solution for individuals and society as a whole is to maintain health.

Today’s deliberations about a revamped health care system are stuck and in need of fresh analysis and a new vision. Health Care Revolt sets out to provide just that and at a most propitious time in US history. Dr. Michael Fine’s manifesto frames the questions more expansively than others before him and offers an impassioned road map for a nation confused about which healthcare direction to travel.

When it comes to our healthcare, we all want the same thing: the care we need, when we need it from people we choose, at a price we can afford. Americans are confused about how to achieve this. Why must all Americans have the same healthcare structure? If Californians want a single-payer system, if Texans want market-based medicine, and if New Yorkers want Obamacare, why should Washington say no to 86 million Americans?

Karen Cumming and Patricia Milne are sisters who embarked on a daunting journey...one that many of us may go on at some point in our lives. They guided their 98 year old mother, Verna, through Ontario's long-term care system. Unfortunately, few people on the inside of that system seemed to be guiding them.

Packed with indispensable resources, tips and insights, it will help you and your family to be proactive and prepared for the decisions that lie ahead. You are not alone.

Developing life-changing drugs is risky and expensive, but that’s not what makes them unaffordable. Drug pricing is a staple of every news cycle and political debate. And while we’ve struggled for decades to agree on solutions that serve all patients without jeopardizing the invention of new medicines, many Americans suffer because they can’t afford the drugs they need. Do we really have to choose between affordability and innovation?

En marzo de 2020, Corea del Sur se convirtió en un ejemplo de cómo frenar el Covid-19 y eso podría justificar que este libro fuera un recuento de las medidas que tomaron para lograrlo; un reportaje sobre las restricciones lúcidas o polémicas del país que nunca mirábamos -el mismo de Parásitos- o un ensayo sobre todo aquello que los asiáticos hacen diferente. Podría ser un texto especulativo sobre el futuro de la sociedad y sobre cuáles son los límites de la privacidad frente al bien común.

Es imposible calcular el alcance exacto de la crisis del Coronavirus en nuestra economía, salud y forma de vida a partir de ahora. Lo único que sabemos es que salimos a un mundo distinto al que hemos conocido, y eso no tiene que ser necesariamente malo. Para vivir esta nueva era llena de desafíos, 20 maestros nos dan, cada cual desde su campo, un kit de supervivencia para vivir de forma proactiva, optimista y sin miedo.

"Desde el comienzo de la pandemia en México, me indignaron las declaraciones del subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell: su insistencia en que la enfermedad no era más grave que la influenza, el exceso de confianza en que todo estaba previsto y el espectáculo teatral de sus apariciones públicas. Hoy, López-Gatell reporta a diario las consecuencias de sus decisiones: más de 134 mil mexicanos han muerto y la pandemia no está cerca de concluir."

Nach einer Rückblende über Hintergründe zur Entstehung der Coronakrise ab ihrem Ursprung im chinesischen Wuhan, verfolgt der Autor die internationale Ausbreitung und die Veränderungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Er warnt vor einer zweiten oder dritten Welle der Corona-Pandemie, die zum brisanten Bumerang werden könne. Der Umgang mit Corona sei zum großen Charaktertest für die Gesellschaft geworden, der ihre Solidarität, ihre Rücksichtnahme und ihr Wertesystem auf den Prüfstand stellt.

In der Medizin sagt man, die Therapie darf nicht schädlicher sein als die Krankheit. Überträgt man dies auf die weltweiten Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Coronavirus, müsste man wohl von einem der größten Kunstfehler der Geschichte sprechen. Die indirekten Kollateralschäden der Therapie stehen in keinem Verhältnis zu den Schäden durch das Virus selbst. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Jens Berger zeigt anhand zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Beispiele, welche Schäden die Corona-Politik verursacht hat und immer noch verursacht.

Unser Gesundheitssystem steht unter hohem Veränderungsdruck: Wir leben aufgrund bahnbrechender medizinischer Fortschritte immer länger, jedoch führt unser zunehmend ungesunder Lebensstil dazu, dass wir immer häufiger an chronischen Krankheiten leiden. Dies treibt die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen in die Höhe und bringt unser erfolgreiches System ins Wanken. Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen zu forcieren, ist ein möglicher Weg, den Kostensteigerungen zu begegnen und gleichzeitig Kranke besser zu versorgen.

Appell für eine wirklich patientenorientierte Medizin! Krankenhäuser und Praxen haben sich in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr zu Wirtschaftsunternehmen entwickelt - zum Nachteil der Patienten und des Personals. Das System ist strikt auf Gewinn ausgerichtet, gleichzeitig ist eine enorme Verschwendung an menschlichen und materiellen Ressourcen zu beobachten. Überversorgung und Mangel sind die beiden Seiten einer Medaille. Die Corona-Pandemie hat es wie unter einem Brennglas gezeigt: Einerseits sind wir enorm leistungsfähig, andererseits schlecht organisiert und unterfinanziert.

Die Geschichte eines politischen Ausnahmezustands. Eine Pandemie erschüttert die Welt. Von Anfang an verfolgten die Investigativjournalisten Katja Gloger und Georg Mascolo, wie ein Virus namens Sars-CoV-2 das Leben, wie wir es kannten, auf dramatische Weise veränderte. Sie erlangten exklusiven Zugang hinter die Kulissen der Politik, die trotz früher Warnungen so gut wie unvorbereitet getroffen wurde. Ihr Hörbuch deckt bisher unbeschriebene Zusammenhänge auf, anhand von Augenzeugenberichten und vertraulichen Dokumenten schildert es die Entscheidungen, Unsicher­heiten und Zweifel.

Philip Moeller has written a reliable, concise guide to health care and health insurance basics. He provides tools that patients need before, during, and after they get medical care. He describes the care we need, the care we don’t, and how to deal with doctors, hospitals, and other health-care providers. Moeller explains telemedicine and health-care apps that have become so important during the coronavirus epidemic. The book shares the stories of disruptive health innovators who have given us access to true health costs, cheaper prescription drugs, and low-cost care.

This book offers a unique, interdisciplinary, and thoughtful look at the challenges and potency of Black women's struggle for inner peace and mental stability. It brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-care, and contemplative practice to health-policy considerations and parenting.

Between its founding in 1966 and its formal end in 1980, the Black Panther Party blazed a distinctive trail in American political culture. Here Alondra Nelson deftly recovers an indispensable but lesser-known aspect of the organization's broader struggle for social justice: health care. The Black Panther Party's health activism was an expression of its founding political philosophy and also a recognition that poor Blacks were both underserved by mainstream medicine and overexposed to its harms.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has killed hundreds of thousands of people and infected millions while also devastating the world economy. The consequences of the pandemic, however, go much further: they threaten the fabric of national and international politics around the world. What will be the consequences of the pandemic, and what will a post-COVID world order look like? No institution is better suited to address these issues than Johns Hopkins University, which has convened experts from within and outside of the university to discuss world order after COVID-19.

The health-care system in the United States has been called the best in the world. Yet wide disparities persist between social groups, and many Americans suffer from poorer health than people in other developed countries. In this revised edition of Health Disparities in the United States, Donald A. Barr provides extensive new data about the ways low socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity interact to create and perpetuate these health disparities.

Army combat veteran and registered nurse Erin Olszewski's most deeply held values were put to the test when she arrived as a travel nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. After serving in Iraq, she was back on the front lines - and this time, she found, the situation was even worse. Rooms were filthy, nurses were lax with sanitation measures, and hospital-acquired cases of COVID-19 were spreading like wildfire.
