Black Market Medicine A must read for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in the U.S. Only a novel so far, John Macklin's story could be yours as a future caregiver. Or you could be cut off from further medical care as your apportionment runs out like Janis. This prescient story carries the reader through a futuristic nightmare where the U.S. Government makes every medical decision for you. Here is an excerpt: Now she knew there was no God. Janis had long been a believer, but no more. Her body had failed her, and so had her God. For three days, she had asked God to take her from this life. Three long torturous days, lled only with the hell of pain so intense she felt at times she must be losing consciousness. The cancer had spread. There was no hope and not the slightest given from Caregiver No. 42. A glass of water, a wet rag on her forehead, even some word of prayer would have been something. She knew they had cut back her allotment of medicine. She had heard that, as late as 2018, there had still been some Wellness Spas that had provided spiritual assistance. Naturally, Janis knew she shouldn't even be thinking such foolish thoughts, but her mother had laid the seed of spiritualism in her many years before. Before the legislation of 2045.

This book seeks to move emphasis away from the over-riding importance given to the state in existing studies of 'western' medicine in India, and locates medical practice within its cultural, social and professional milieus. Based on Bengali doctors writings this book examines how various medical problems, challenges and debates were understood and interpreted within overlapping contexts of social identities and politics on the one hand, and their function within a largely unregulated medical market on the other.

A critical examination of translational medicine, when private risk is transferred to the public sector and university research teams become tech startups for global investors. A global shift has secretly transformed science and medicine. Starting in 2003, biomedical research in the West has been reshaped by the emergence of translational science and medicine—the idea that the aim of research is to translate findings as quickly as possible into medical products. In The Market in Mind, Mark Dennis Robinson charts this shift, arguing that the new research paradigm has turned university research teams into small biotechnology startups and their industry partners into early-stage investment firms. There is also a larger, surprising consequence from this shift: according to Robinson, translational science and medicine enable biopharmaceutical firms, as part of a broader financial strategy, to outsource the riskiest parts of research to nonprofit universities. Robinson examines the implications of this new configuration. What happens, for example, when universities absorb unknown levels of risk? Robinson argues that in the years since the global financial crisis translational science and medicine has brought about “the financialization of health.” Robinson explores such topics as shareholder anxiety and industry retreat from Alzheimer's and depression research; how laboratory research is understood as health innovation even when there is no product; the emergence of investor networking events as crucial for viewing science in a market context; and the place of patients in research decisions. Although translational medicine justifies itself by the goal of relieving patients' suffering, Robinson finds patients' voices largely marginalized in translational neuroscience.

U.S. healthcare is too expensive, asset-heavy and tolerant of excessive performance variation. It is over-invested in acute/specialty care and under-invested in prevention, primary care, behavioral health and chronic disease management. It makes too many mistakes and refuses to learn from them. Our long-term quality of life, standard of living and social mobility depend on converting America's "sickcare" system into a true healthcare system. Strong incumbents dominate an expensive and fragmented system that is financially unsustainable, delivers mediocre health outcomes and fails to address the root causes of America's chronic disease epidemic. This medical empire is fighting to maintain the status quo and its vested interests. Its day of reckoning has come. New competitors and business models are emerging to challenge entrenched, inefficient and ineffective business practices. They're relentless. They fight to win customers every day by delivering better, more convenient and more affordable healthcare services. Market vs. Medicine goes beyond diagnosis to consider how sustaining and disruptive innovation will make U.S. healthcare better at diagnosing and treating illness while developing care management capabilities that promote prevention, behavioral health and chronic disease management. In the epic battle underway, market-driven reform, more than regulatory change, will transform and improve America's broken healthcare system. The marketplace will differentiate winners and losers. Value rules.
