''Lives at Risk'' is a book about modern health care systems. It examines the flaws of current health care systems and proposes reforms for the American health care system. In doing so it examines twenty common assumptions about government involvement in health care systems which they argue are myths. The book continues on to discuss the economics and politics behind health care in the United States, and proposes market based reforms.〔(NCPA: Lives at Risk: Single-Payer National Health Insurance Around the World )〕 == Introduction == It begins by examining how three fundamental facts about health care systems. # The potential exists to spend the entire US GDP on health care in useful ways. # As time goes on, Americans desire to spend more of their income on health care. # The US has suppressed normal market forces in dealing with 1 and 2. The authors contend that Americans could potentially spend their entire GDP on medical testing alone. 〔Lives at Risk page 2〕 They further explain that as people become older and wealthier, they naturally spend more of their money on health care. 〔Lives at Risk page 6〕 They explain how the suppression of normal market forces, in conjunction with the first two facts, has created the problems currently faced with health care in the United States and abroad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lives at Risk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
