Obamacare by mandate, providing Medicare Advantage and Medicaid to uninsured Americans as an entitlement for the poor will enrich insurance companies and Big Pharma and bankrupt our economy.

Epigraph: Is a pertinent quotation but not integral to the book.

"There is a critical need for development, refining and implementation of systems to assure that the medical care provided is accessible, appropriate, efficacious, efficient, and delivered at the lowest possible cost. The managed care industry scuttled by special interest groups, lobbyists and politicians failed to meet this challenge. The present attempt to reform the financial system without addressing core quality and cost issues will fail. The entire American Medical-Industrial Complex must be reengineered on both the financing and delivery sides if quality care and cost effectiveness are to the achieved. This is “Creative Design for Health Care Reform."

Foreword: The foreword is a statement about the book by a person other than the author. This person may be eminent and the name may be carried on the title page and cover. Dr. Wes Wallace wrote the foreword to the book and his name appears on the cover and full-title page.

Preface: My statement about the work may be reviewed on an attached page.

Acknowledgments: Recognition and gratitude for assistance and contributions to the work. My acknowledgment pages may be reviewed on an attached page.

Introduction: A substantial introduction by someone other than the author is usually included in the front matter after the acknowledgments. It should exceed 5 pages. If it is shorter, it becomes the Foreword and is positioned ahead of the Preface.

Only some of these elements have been attached to this web site.
