A Case of Neglect:
Why Health Care Is Getting Worse, Even Though
Medicine Is Getting Better
Medicine in the United
States is enjoying a surge of innovation and creativity that
promises continuing improvements in everyday life for millions of
people but it is being thwarted by federal and state health care
systems incapable of delivering those improvements fairly and
consistently to much of the American public. To be blunt,
Americans are living with first-rate medicine and a third-rate
health care system. And the problem is getting worse instead of
better.
