Millions of Americans either lose their benefits or have them reduced every year. Most health care providers, insurance industry personnel, and employers agree that the primary reason for this devastating occurrence is increasing cost. What they do not agree on is the definition of the word cost. Some believe one of the solutions is association health plans-the pooling of small employers to allow greater savings through mass purchase.

Produktbeschreibung
Millions of Americans either lose their benefits or have them reduced every year. Most health care providers, insurance industry personnel, and employers agree that the primary reason for this devastating occurrence is increasing cost. What they do not agree on is the definition of the word cost. Some believe one of the solutions is association health plans-the pooling of small employers to allow greater savings through mass purchase. This concept, however, creates another set of problems, and has failed more often than it has worked. Another school of thought supports national health care or state mandated coverage as the answer; big government is the final cure for everything. While national health care, or single payer, may work in socialized countries, it is not likely to work in capitalist America. Others offer no real solutions, except to debate the issue and hope the problem will fix itself. The Bitter Pill was written to not only define the real problem of reduced or eliminated benefits due to increasing medical costs, but to also offer real solutions.
Autorenporträt
Mr. Shupe is very involved in his church and is a past Moderator of the Nashville Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He is an active elder at his church and past Minister of Music, serving in that position for forty-eight years. He attended Free Will Baptist Bible College and then attended and graduated from Belmont University in 1973. He is the father of two, grandfather of two, and the husband of Valerie Shupe for the past fifty-two years.Mr. Shupe, as a teenager, felt called to the Christian mission field which led him to the higher education he pursued. After serving for a year and a half at the First Baptist Church in Portland, Tennessee as Minister of Music and Youth, he felt a different call. After a two-and-a-half-year search, he discovered the insurance industry. This industry allowed him to provide for his family and fund and provide time for several mission projects throughout the remainder of his forty-three-year career. Some of those were working for eight years on a Sudanese Church project for refugees in the U.S.; music programs in Colombia, South America; and raising funds for various other mission projects while directing music for many years in a Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Other music projects included co-writing a historic musical about the birth of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1810 during the Second Great Awakening in the Cumberland Valley. The research for this Great Awakening project and his tenure teaching a Bible Discussion Group for several years gave birth to the idea for this series entitled, The Great Commission for 21st Century Congregations based on his earlier resource book entitled, Between Two Breaths, the seasons of creation. This is the third book from that study series.
