Paperback. Condición: New. A powerful and path-breaking expose of America's Medical Industrial Complex-the network of mutually beneficial relationships between big business, academic medicine, patient advocacy organizations, hospitals, and government-and a compelling way forward for transforming America's healthcare systemHow has the United States, with more resources than any nation, developed a healthcare system that delivers much poorer results, at near double the cost of any other developed country-such that legendary seer Warren Buffett calls the Medical Industrial Complex "the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness"? Mike Magee, M.D., who worked for years inside the Medical Industrial Complex administering a hospital and then as a senior executive at the giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, has spent the last decade deconstructing the complex, often shocking rise of, and connectivity between, the pillars of our health system-Big Pharma, insurance companies, hospitals, the American Medical Association, and anyone affiliated with them. With an eye first and foremost on the bottom line rather than on the nation's health, each sector has for decades embraced cure over care, aiming to conquer disease rather than concentrate on the cultural and social factors that determine health. This decision Magee calls the "original sin" of our health system.Code Blue is a riveting, character-driven narrative that draws back the curtain on the giant industry that consumes one out of every five American dollars. Making clear for the first time the mechanisms, greed, and collusion by which our medical system was built over the last eight decades-and arguing persuasively and urgently for the necessity of a single-payer, multi-plan insurance arena of the kind enjoyed by every other major developed nation-Mike Magee gives us invaluable perspective and inspiration by which we can, indeed, reshape the future.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For the first time, Code Blue presents the dramatic story of how our Medical Industrial Complex was built, while exploring why Americans pay way more for healthcare than any developed country in the world-and get far worse results. Mike Magee's narrative rivals the best of Michael Lewis in its clarity, authority, and compulsive readability. This is essential reading for every American concerned with his or her health and the health of the nation. Magee explains American healthcare's original sin: when establishing our system, health and political leaders prioritized profit over good health results; cure over care; and quixotically conquering disease over improving the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that in huge ways determine the health of our citizenry. While we established our profit-first system for our citizens, our military designed single-payer systems focused on care, not cure, for our defeated enemies in World War II, Germany and Japan-the system we ought to have in the United States. Statistics are compelling; here are two: 1) American children are almost twice as likely to die in the first five years of life than British, German, Canadian, and Japanese children-all countries which have single payer, multi-plan systems. 2) The U.S. healthcare lobby is four times as large as that run by the U.S. defense industry. Mike Magee is a distinguished doctor, hospital administrator, and former executive of Pfizer. He has spent the last ten years unraveling how our healthcare system was built and the complexity of its operation. Code Blue is the remarkable culmination of that decade of research.
