Flatlined lifts the veil of secrecy on twenty-first century health care and delves into the realities of good people caught in a bad medical system. Dr. Guy L. Clifton, a practitioner as well as a policy advocate, reveals first-hand accounts of needless tragedy, such as the young man who died after a car wreck for lack of a bed in a qualified hospital and the surgeon who was dejected by the scarcity of resources needed to enable him to perform heart surgery on an uninsured man.

Arguing that a lack of coordinated care and quality medical practice benchmarks result in high levels of redundancy and ineffectiveness, Clifton proposes that the key to reducing health care costs, improving quality, and financially protecting the uninsured, is to reduce wastefulness, and offers a solution for achieving success.

Flatlined sounds the warning call: By 2018 Medicare and Medicaid will consume about one-third of the federal budget. American businesses now pay three times as much of their payroll for health care as global competitors, expected to worsen as health care grows at twice the rate of the U.S. economy. Based on his years of experience in policy and medicine, Clifton offers an attainable solution through the development of an American Medical Quality System.

Notes

Review
& 8220;"Dr. Guy Clifton lays out the problems in our health care system with extraordinary clarity and compassion, and he offers workable solutions. This book should be required reading for anybody who thinks health care needs fixing."

--Shannon Brownlee, Schwartz Senior Fellow, New America Foundation, and author of Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine is Making Us Sicker and Poorer

Flatlined does a wonderful job of alerting readers to the causes of our health care crisis, while providing recommendations for reform. The true strength of this book comes from Clifton's presentation from the ground up as a practicing surgeon and physician who successfully blends his own experiences and observations with a serious examination of the existing literature.

--David Mechanic, Ph.D., author of The Truth About Health Care
