A renowned authority from Harvard Business School confronts America's health care crisis-and how consumer control can fix it
PRAISE FOR WHO KILLED HEALTHCARE?
A brilliant analysis... A must-read. Bill George, Professor, Harvard Business School and Former CEO of Medtronic

As it becomes more and more obvious to everyone that our current health care system is unsustainable, this is the book that had to be written. Daniel H. Johnson, Jr. MD, former president of the American Medical Association

Regina Herzlingers ideas to tackle the crisis of the U.S. health care system are based on keen knowledge of the systems existing difficulties along with insights that introduce the reader to new streamlined choices that have the potential of getting both quantity and cost under control. Joseph Kennedy, founder, chairman, and president, Citizens Energy Corporation, CEO, Citizens Health Care, former representative (D-Mass)
Regina Herzlinger... offers a vision of the way things can be, should be, and will be sooner or later. The only question is: how long do we have to wait? Greg Scandlen, founder, Consumers for Health ChoicesRegi Herzlinger has brilliantly articulated a better way embracing the principles of competition and innovation that cause every other sector of our economy to thrive. Discharging American health care from the ICU can only happen by putting individual Americans not politicians and bureaucrats back in charge of their health care decisioins. U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla), M.D. Following on the heels of her landmark Market-Driven Health Care, Herzlinger lays it on the line with her expose of what many who work in the health care industry have felt in their gut. Now it is articulated in an entertaining and must-read portrayal, with you and me as the only way out. Dennis White, executive vice president for strategic development, National Business Coalition on HealthA wonderful Orwellian romp through issues which carry a deadly irony. The killers of health care are, of course, the third parties, each of which has an itchy palm and a commitment to profit or power which exceeds the commitment to service, with each engaging the others within a politically shaped box. Rarely has the case for the public been made with so much force, foresight, and wit, and a better way forward shown so clearly. James F. Fries, MD, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine You can practically hear the war chants as Professor Herzlinger sets out her view of whats wrong with the health care system and how to fix it. Youd best read it so you can decide which side you will be on when the battle is joined. Paul Levy, CEO, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA Regina Herzlinger, the nations leading expert on consumer-driven health care, has given us a brilliant analysis of the flaws in our health care system and what it will take to get it back on track. Her latest book is a must-read. Bill George, Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School, Former CEO, Medtronic, and author of Authentic LeadershipYou dont have to agree with her diagnosis and prescription for the U.S. health care system, but you do have to read her book. Once again, Professor Herzlinger has put together a well researched, well written, and very provocative blueprint for the future of health care. Peter L. Slavin, MD, President, Massachusetts General Hospital
