by Elaina George, MD, Dave Racer (Editor)

Overview

The United States is experiencing incredible upheaval in the delivery of and payment for healthcare. Elaina George, MD, an ENT specialist from Atlanta, Georgia, experiences healthcare reform every day, as she provides medical care to her patients. Dr. George and her patients also suffer under the burdens imposed by "Big Medicine," as she describes the undo influence of Big Government, Big Phama, and Big Insurance on them. "When they wrote the ObamaCare law, they never bothered to talk with doctors who practice medicine every day," George asserts. "If they did, it would be far different from this top-down, over-managed, wasteful system they have imposed on us."

Dr. George discusses the effects of Big Medicine on her patients and her profession, and gives an Rx to redesign healthcare to be more effective and affordable.

Now and then comes a book on how a practicing physician really feels about ObamaCare. This is that book. For good writing it is a good practice to follow this rule, "If you have a nail to hit, hit it on the head." Elaina George, an Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeon, from Atlanta who has been in private solo practice for 17 years, hits several nails on the head in 27 chapters and 134 pages. She describes her honest reaction to reflections on ObamaCare from the viewpoint of the MD at bedside.
