Breaking Point - How The Primary Care Crisis Endangers The Lives Of Americans

Breaking Point is the blueprint for real Health Care Reform.

"John Geyman continues his scholarly investigation of the structural, financial and educational origins of the crisis in American health care in Breaking Point. This book is a blueprint for restructuring the primary care workforce shortages that plague the current system and, as Geyman illustrates in great detail, will be hugely worse in the next decades with health care reform. What we need are clear, direct and achievable goals to work toward and, particularly in the chapter on Rebuilding and Transforming Primary Care, Geyman distills over fifty years as a scholar, thought leader, and national figure in health reform into ten principles that should guide that transformation. The book should be a source document for answering the question of how we got to this point as well as where we have to go next." -John J.
