Synopsis

With his signature concise and conversational language, Ron Howrigon, former health insurance executive, economist, and CEO of Fulcrum Strategies, a medical provider consulting company, explains the impact of our healthcare system on the U.S. economy and what we should do about it. With healthcare spending accounting for nearly 20% of the U.S. economy and growing, Ron lays out a logical approach to healthcare reform that is needed to change this unsustainable trajectory.

CLEAR! Reforming Healthcare to Save the U.S. Economy expands on his first book, FLATLINING, by walking us through the key components of healthcare that are ripe for reform. Revisiting some topics and exploring new ones, Ron aims to up the volume of the healthcare discussion and get us to a system that is cost-effective, delivers quality care, and makes us a healthier nation.

Readers will discover: What the COVID-19 pandemic taught us about the U.S. healthcare system. What worked, what didn't, and how to use this knowledge to improve. That either side of the healthcare debate could work, but only if each addresses the fundamental issues causing the problem. The key factors contributing to the rising cost of healthcare, and how they can be addressed. 
What goals can be set to reduce the cost of healthcare and provide the level of care expected from the wealthiest nation in the world.
