Why does healthcare cost so much? What can we do to reduce the cost? Why is the cost of health insurance so high? What is the effect of pharmaceutical drugs in increasing costs? Does preventative medicine reduce the cost of care? Do Medicare Cost Reduction Programs actually significantly reduce the cost of Medicare? Do Workplace Wellness Programs work? What is the role of medical technology in healthcare costs? What is the effect on hospitals (and the patients they take care of) by increasing costs? What about Medicaid? How can the soaring costs of Medicaid be restrained but patients receive the care they should have? How do costs affect the other two aspects of healthcare—access and quality? What is the quality of healthcare in the U.S. and single payer systems? What system should the American people choose? Is healthcare reform achievable through the free market system?

These are the questions Americans must answer. They must understand the most important concept. Healthcare Reform must expand freedom, not restrict it. This book shows why healthcare prices have gone up and how you can reduce them. It examines the various healthcare plans, including the present healthcare system, and reveals how healthcare reform can be achieved.
