From the World Wide Web comes a website with the appropriate title of "Making a Killing - HMOs and the Threat to Your Health." The site url is http://www.makingakilling.org/ and it features an online book with information related to the managed care industry and it's thirst for profits over healthcare.About the book (site), the Los Angeles Times writes: "Provides one of the most descriptive records of the horrors of HMO medicine during the 1990s, with numerous stories of individuals who were denied care or had to fight their HMOs for coverage of medical services. Court and Smith make a compelling case for the absurdity of a health-care system based on the concept of minimizing care to increase profits and please shareholders. They reveal how and why most HMOs have broken their early promises to control costs and reduce the number of uninsured Americans." The "book" features some interesting chapters some of which are listed here: The End of Health Care - Who Plays God in a System Bent on Profit A Deadly Fraud - Behind the Caring Image of HMOs and Managed Care Companies The Death of Community Health Care and Hospitals The Financial Sting - Paying More for Less Getting Away with Murder - Why You Can’t Sue Your HMO The Battle to Make Health Care Work Visit the site at www.makingakilling.org Thank you to Dr. James Locher for forwarding us the weblink.
