Book Description

May 26, 2008
This book reveals a comprehensive strategy to reduce high and rising medical costs. The author provides a simpler and more complete understanding of how complex medical systems work than past efforts. While others provide partial, superficial solutions, which mainly focus mainly on financial issues, this book re-examines the underlying foundations of modern medicine. Faulty knowledge misguides the medical system to perform inefficiently and expensively, in spite of the best efforts of sincere, dedicated, and competent health-care professionals. The author presents numerous winning solutions for improving medical system effectiveness. These include a complete science-based plan that applies disease prevention, health promotion, public health, primary care, scientifically verified complementary and alternative medicine, and many other approaches to improve health and reduce medical expenses. While this innovative book contains many science-based solutions, it is simple, clear, and easy to understand. For more information, see this web site: www.reducemedicalcosts.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Plan for Reducing Medical Costs, April 15, 2008
By 
Robert Stowe "Rob" (Cambridge, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
"Robert Herron's book provides clear insights into the sources of dysfunction in the U.S. health care system and practical policy guidance about how the system can be made to work much more efficiently and effectively for all Americans. Herron's evidence-based advice on increasing the relative amount of health care resources devoted to prevention (public health and primary care) is especially important. He offers innovative approaches to preventive care, drawn from what has become a significant body of research and experience with complementary and alternative medicine. Doctors and policymakers should read this book and act upon it."- Robert C. Stowe, Ph.D., Associate Director, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone who cares about health care - read this book!, May 13, 2008
By 
Warren Blank (Vero Beach, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bob Herron has managed to capture the essence of what's wrong and what needs to be done to meet the challenge of today's health care crisis. Given that Americans spend 13% of GDP on health care - the highest in the world - and that it will only get more costly, strategies such as those Dr. Herron provides are not only important but vital. This book should be on the desk of every CEO and elected official!
