- Summary
- Health Care Solutions offers an original, future-oriented perspective on health care reform based on an understanding of the unique beliefs, attitudes, and expectations of the U.S. consumer - and the changing realities of our family structure, age, race, and cultural background. Drawing on her twenty-eight years of experience in the field, Marczynski-Music argues that massive destruction and reconstruction of the system is ill-advised and unnecessary.
- Instead, she explains, the foundation for a coordinated national plan of health care is already in place - in our public health depatments and community health centers. The author describes how pragmatic leadership at the community and state levels can design existing services and agencies into a comprehensive system.
