Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is an affirmation of the horrendous plight of health care coverage that I see happening in mental health, as well as in the general population. All Allied Healthcare Practitioners must stand together to force government to do right by suffering people, whether it is physical or mental, and to then adequately compensate those who provide the healing." -- Amelia B.Kemp, M.S.CSAE, Founder Mental Health Counseling Association Broward County Chapter
"This is a must-read for consumers and the busy practitioner. It provides detailed insight into the ways in which managed care medicine has lowered the standards of health care, undermined our relationships with patients, while skimming off consumer dollars intended for patient care." -- Linda Green,MD,FACOG
