Squandering Billions Book
Squandering Billions
By Gary Bannerman and Dr. Don Nixdorf
A brutally frank indictment of health spending in the U.S. and
Canada. The book demonstrates that the absolute power of
medical doctors, pharmaceutical companies, health bureaucrats,
and hospital administrators enshrines mediocrity at the expense of
patients.
Mistakes, inefficiency, and malpractice in the Canadian health
system may be causing ten times or more unnecessary deaths a
year than the toll from traffic accidents (3,000) and crime (500).
Some acute care hospitals seem to have become disease factories.
Why do health care tragedies not face the scrutiny typically focused
upon other accidental and wrongful deaths? Canadian medicare
was designed to insure the patient, not the practitioner. Why, then,
are medical doctors and hospitals exempted from competition?
Evidence shows conclusively that expanded use of community
health centres, nurse practitioners, doctors of chiropractic, and
others can be more effective and less expensive within their area of
expertise. This book goes where official commissions have been
afraid to travel.
