Inhaltsangabe

Introduction Myth 1: The United States boasts the best health care in the
world. Myth 2: Shopping for health care is like shopping for a car: You
base your decisions on good information. Myth 3: Medical interventions are
based upon scientific evidence of positive outcomes regarding best
practices. As a result, patients receive precisely the care they need. Myth
4: Where one chooses to receive care will have no bearing on their
treatment options, outcomes, or cost. Myth 5: All physicians are created
equal. Myth 6: There's no better place to be when you are ill than the
hospital. Myth 7: The prescription I was given is safe, proven, and
effective. Myth 8: I'm just the patient. I'm not part of the problem. Myth
9: My insurance company's first concern is my health. Myth 10: When all
else fails, at least the system will allow me to die with dignity. Epilogue
