Clear! Reforming Healthcare to Save the U.S. Economy

Healthcare accounts for almost 20% of the U.S. economy, and it’s growing at an alarming rate. A logical approach to healthcare reform is needed to change this unsustainable trajectory.

With “CLEAR!,” Ron Howrigon expands on his first book, “FLATLINING,” by walking us through the key components of healthcare that are ripe for reform. Readers will discover (a) what the COVID-19 pandemic taught us about the U.S. healthcare system, what worked, what didn’t, and how to use this knowledge to improve (b) that either side of the healthcare debate could work, but only if each addresses the fundamental issues causing the problem (c) the key factors contributing to the rising cost of healthcare and how they can be addressed (d) what goals can be set to reduce the cost of healthcare and provide the level of care expected from the wealthiest nation in the world.

If I Betray These Words: Moral Injury In Medicine And Why It’s So Hard For Clinicians To Put Patients First

For more than a decade, the term burnout, which suggests a lack of resilience, has been used to describe distress among medical clinicians. The concept of moral injury more accurately locates the source of an ongoing and increasing crisis in a conflict-ridden healthcare system.

In If I Betray These Words, Wendy Dean, M.D. explores and exposes the impacts of moral injury through vividly told stores that are at once bewildering and eye-opening. Her book serves as a roadmap through a healthcare landscape that can be confounding, and at times even hellish, for those who must navigate it, and it suggests alternative routes for healers and their patients.
