Lerner, Eli
- Abstract
The author reflects on the challenges faced by the U.S. healthcare system. He believes that various regulations imposed by the government can affect patient care because of doctors' fear of facing lawsuits and fines. He also notes on the possible cutback in Medicare payments, which he thinks is disastrous to the American health system. In addition, he comments on the issues related to physician tiering.
