5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the corporate takeover of health care.
The health care industry is complicated, but this book will make it less so for its readers. Sandy Lutz and her coauthors not only know their stuff, but also can write clearly and compellingly about the role of money in health care. Primarily intended for health care professionals, but relevant to all people working in American business, this book offers a clear-headed...

By A Customer
This review is from: Med Inc.: How Consolidation Is Shaping Tomorrow's Healthcare System (Jossey Bass/Aha Press Series) (Hardcover)
The health care industry is complicated, but this book will make it less so for its readers. Sandy Lutz and her coauthors not only know their stuff, but also can write clearly and compellingly about the role of money in health care. Primarily intended for health care professionals, but relevant to all people working in American business, this book offers a clear-headed analysis of what today's health care entrepreneurs do that's right -- as well as what's wrong. My interest in health care is primarily policial, but even for readers whose interest social, clinical, financial, or just personal, no one should pass up this fine book.

This review is from: Med Inc.: How Consolidation Is Shaping Tomorrow's Healthcare System (Jossey Bass/Aha Press Series) (Hardcover)
Writer is a complete believer of for profit companies save the healthcare industry. But the examples she gave as the future of healthcare mostly bankrupt or having great legal problems now... such as PhyCor and HealthSouth... So the revolution of Nashville went bust... Book believes consolidation will save healthcare but we had this experience with big conglomerates in 70s... I am saying book does not provide any insight about healthcare... Writer had a pink dream with the abundance of capital in 90s... Now the heroes are dead with debt and fraud...
