Dr. Geyman, a former practitioner and professor, knows how to
keep your close interest like no other writer, as if people matter
first--up front and personal.
"Long-Term Care in America" is a gripping, authoritative, up to
date report on the shameful state of long-term care for tens of
millions of America's elderly. He shows how you and your family can
minimize risks and burdens, while aroused citizens make policy
changes so that the later stages of life are less painful, more
humane and manageable.
-- Ralph Nader, attorney, co-founder of Public Citizen, co-founder
of
the Center for the Study of Responsive Law, and author of many
books in the public interest, including The Seventeen
Traditions."All of the U.S. health care system is deeply
dysfunctional, but long-term care is its shabbiest and most
neglected corner. Geyman brings the wisdom gained from his dual
roles as a leader of American medicine and a long-time caregiver
for his late wife to brilliantly analyze what's wrong with
long-term care and how it can be fixed."-- David Himmelstein, M.D.
and Steffie Woolhandler, M.D., general internists,
health policy experts, and distinguished professors of
public health at the City University of New York.
