About the Book

In IN THE DARK, an insider exposes the "darkness" in healthcare citing examples of when those in healthcare may act in ways that benefit themselves at the expense of the patient and the public. The author gives a perspective and information that many are unaware of and may be shocked if they knew. The author brings to light the harm that private equity may be causing in healthcare, and the contract management groups (CMGs), or staffing companies owned by private equity, that place physicians in uncomfortable situations where patients could be in danger and harmed. IN THE DARK exposes how staffing companies (CMGs) take advantage of physicians and other health practitioners working for them, sometimes taking "loan shark fees" from the revenue they generate. The staffing companies (CMGs) influence the practice environment in which their physicians and non-physicians practice medicine that affects patient care and safety. These same staffing companies, often owned by private equity firms, use less trained and non-specialists but charge you the same as if a specialist sees you. Contract management groups keep patients in the dark preventing them to make an "informed" choice.The author exposes how insurance companies sell expensive policies to the public that are sometimes worse than no insurance at all. Insurers who refuse to cover procedures or expenses even though you pay your premiums. It discusses how many in America are in debt or file for bankruptcy because of healthcare costs and they have no insurance or have insurance that does not cover their medical expenses.He discusses the harm caused by plaintiff attorneys and frivolous lawsuits to patients and communities in addition to the hundreds of billions of dollars it adds to the cost of healthcare. IN THE DARK exposes hospitals that may try to influence the way physicians treat patients i.e. discourage admitting sick patients to their hospital if they do not have insurance or only have Medicaid insurance. Some hospitals allow staffing with less trained physicians in order to save money. How hospital administrators may "look the other way" for the sake of their hospital's bottom line.This eye opening book will make you stop and think. Hopefully it will also:1) Help you know what questions to ask when seeking care, shopping for insurance or pricing medication?2) Make you aware of the differences that exist in healthcare.3) Help you be able to compare doctors and hospitals?4) Help you shop and find the best doctor and hospital for you.4) Help you obtain better healthcare for you and your family.5) Help you get better prices for medications or procedures that you need.6) Allow you to live a healthier life. The author not only points out the problems with our current healthcare system but also offers common sense and innovative ideas to help improve it. He discusses Health-Life Insurance policies, the Direct Care Organization model, D-Meals and many others. He also discusses popular topics such as Telemedicine and Medicare for All.IN THE DARK is a great reference for any household to have to better understand the healthcare you have and be better equipped to make better informed decisions.
