The Book

About Uproot U.S. Healthcare

The British would call Uproot U.S. Healthcare a “primer.” Though dealing with a complex subject, it is simple and written for the non-expert. Uproot U.S. Healthcare provides a starting point for us to talk with each other using the same language, understanding what “cost” and “error” really mean

Uproot U.S. Healthcare recognizes that everyday people must become the doctors for sick healthcare. We need to practice good medicine rather than smart politics. We need to treat the causes of healthcare sickness, rather than the symptoms (as Washington does). Uproot U.S. Healthcare helps us to understand WHY healthcare is sick instead of focusing solely on the WHAT, the signs of system sickness: uninsured millions, errors, unsupportable costs, and increasing shortages.

If you like this book, that is nice. However, enjoying it is not enough. You have to get involved. Talk to others, on this web site or elsewhere. Write to the newspapers and on the Internet. Demand a plebiscite on healthcare. Participate in the creation of a functional, American healthcare system.

Remember the ancient wisdom: “If not me, who? If not now, when?” I add the following. Do it in your own best interest. After all, no one else will.
