The Emperor Needs New Clothes: Or Why The Caring Disappeared from Health Care (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781633854734)

In the United States the answer is apparently a resounding NO. In other countries this is not the case, they may pay higher taxes but they are able to provide quality healthcare for all. Why can't we?

What we once knew as healthcare and long-term care has become a bottom-line profit oriented, insurance-driven system that ignores a patient's individuality and a family's wishes and concerns.

And it gets worse as patients and families try to understand, let alone, navigate the outrageous complications thrown in their path.

Author, Jeff Weinberg, a Nationally Certified Health Care Patient Advocate, provides stunning patient testimonials illustrating the deficiencies in our healthcare system.

But his book also provides real-life solutions, resources and a call to action. It is the author's desire to help patients and their families put an end to the nightmare that is our healthcare system.
