By now tens of thousands of you, (or at least a short conga line's worth), will have noticed that I've been missing for a week or two. Alas, like this donkey I've been temporarily overwhelmed. The good news is that the the rush to complete the final edits on my book is almost complete. Actual production process is slated to begin shortly at Prentice Hall.
(In the process the title has now been changed to "Stop the Bleeding: How to Save Trillions by Overhauling America's Healthcare Machine". Oh those wily marketing people!)
Regardless of what it's called, the basis of the book - that American healthcare is being overwhelmed by thoughtless, expensive and quality-sucking bureaucratic complexity - is truer than ever. The passage of the 2,400+ page Obamacare legislation has only accelerated the process. We have a short window of opportunity to fix things before the medical, social and financial consequences of poor planning and administrative mis-management come crashing down upon us. The irony is that the solutions are so much easier and cheaper than what we're doing now!
It brings to mind the adage about hitting oneself repeatedly with a hammer because it feels so good when you stop. The big question is whether we can muster the common sense and political will to quit hurting ourselves and future generations?
At any rate, I should be back blogging about the Road to Hellth just after August 7th or so. There will be tons to catch up on.
Look forward to seeing you then!
