(Book)

"Although American medical care is the costliest in the world, it ranks far from number one. Some sources rank American healthcare as low as 54th behind Bangladesh in distribution of care, 47th behind Bosnia in life expectancy at birth. A 2013 study from National Academy of Sciences shows us lagging near the bottom of all industrialized nations including those with 'socialized medicine.' In To die or not to die, Dr. Cook gives a brief overview of the many factors that cause these problems based on her many years of study and experience in the medical field. She not only discusses some of the problems, but what you can do to get better care and results for yourself and your loved ones. Medical care is more complex than 40 years ago, and today's patient needs to be a much more active in their own care to benefit from the progress in medicine. It will open your eyes to tricks for saving money, improving your health, and possibly saving your life."--Provided by publisher.
