CEO's Guide to Restoring the American Dream: How to deliver world class healthcare to your employees at half the cost

by Dave Chase, Tom Emerick (Foreword), Brian Klepper (Foreword)

Most CEOs, HR leaders, and others have been led to believe that controlling health benefits costs isn't possible. The CEO's Guide to Restoring the American Dream shows how this just isn't true. It's an inside look into how public and private employers and unions across the U.S. are reducing their spending by 20% or more, while improving care quality and access, by taking control of the purchasing process, aligning economic incentives, and applying simple, practical, and proven approaches.

The book opens the door to learning from these top performing benefits purchasers. It's built on the the real-life examples and successes of top performers across sectors, a field guide for how CEO's and HR leaders can improve their bottom line while improving their employees' own bottom line and health.

This is a re-read to refresh myself - and I got about half way through which was enough to remind myself this is a good book for CEO/CFOs to read to better understand a significant part of why they are paying so much for health "insurance." The bottom line remains that laws and regulations have set up a system which in places demands and in other places incentivizes high cost, inefficient coverage and payment mechanisms. This book shines light of several key areas which typically remain unseen.

As a self-professed health care know-it-all, I learned a few concepts that I will incorporate into my work. I would have rated this book higher if it wasn't such a blatant promotion of the author's business. And he does paint the possibility of making vast change relatively simple, which I take with a grain of salt, though overall there's good food-for-thought. I also appreciate the exhaustive bibliography, great resources to dig into further.

Somewhat shameless self promotion, but man he's got some good points.
'America has gone to war for less.'
Yep.
