[What can I do to fix my most critically ill patient - healthcare? If you are not directly involved in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written for you. The author can give you one guarantee: some day you will need healthcare. When that day comes, you will want a system that provides error-free, high quality care; that you can easily access; that we can all afford; and that offers better outcomes tomorrow than it does today. Uproot Healthcare shows you how to get involved so you can get what you need and want. Uproot Healthcare does not offer Waldman's answer, another fix that fails, or some "solution" imposed on us from above. It provides the foundation for a discussion on healthcare, to create a national consensus, and for us to make healthcare work for everyone, not easily nor quickly, but surely.

Washington's BARRC Is Its Bite


Book Description

"The painful truth is here! “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” proves that so-called public servants in D.C. are indeed serving us: we are their dinner and dessert! Politicians create BARRC—bureaucracy, administration, rules, regulations, and compliance—and their BARRC consumes the resources that people desperately need. Washington says: We are simply doing what must be done in your best interests. “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” describes how previous government solutions to U.S. healthcare problems have made our system sicker not better; how “free” BARRC is incredibly expensive (a bill that we all must pay); and how BARRC in healthcare hurts the very people it claims to protect. “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” concludes on a positive note. It proves that better and cheaper are possible in healthcare—simply cut the BARRC."

Uprooted Minds


Book Description

In our post-9/11 environment, our sense of relative security and stability as privileged subjects living in the heart of Empire has been profoundly shaken. Hollander explores the forces that have brought us to this critical juncture, analyzing the role played by the neoliberal economic paradigm and conservative political agenda that emerged in the West over the past four decades with devastating consequences for the hemisphere's citizens. Narrative testimonies of progressive U.S. and Latin American psychoanalysts illuminate the psychological meanings of living under authoritarian political conditions and show how a psychoanalysis "beyond the couch" contributes to social struggles on behalf of human rights and redistributive justice. By interrogating themes related to the mutual effects of social power and ideology, large group dynamics and unconscious fantasies, affects and defenses, Hollander encourages reflections about our experience as social/psychological subjects.




The Cure for U.S. Healthcare– "StatesCare" and the Texas Model


Book Description

The entire eBook series, “Restoring Care to American Healthcare,” has led up to this one book: “The Cure for U.S. Healthcare–StatesCare and the Texas Model.” It starts with the root cause of why healthcare is failing and logically says: if federal control is the problem, the obvious and effective solution is to remove federal control. That approach is called StatesCare, where the healthcare system or structure in a state or group of states is decided by them, not Washington. After explaining how and why StatesCare will work, the book gives an example of what one state–Texas–might do with its freedom from federal control, a market-based system. The book emphasizes that other states might choose a different model, such as a single payer in California. State residents should be free to decide their own destiny rather than having Washington decide for them.
