n this book John Marty makes the case for a universal health care system that is medically beneficial, fiscally responsible, andmorally necessary.Senator Marty starts by spelling out principles we should expect our health care system to follow, then lays out a commonsense plan to meet those principles. The result is a proposal to cover all people for all of their medical needs, in an accountable, comprehensible, fair, and affordable manner.Marty cuts through and critiques layers of "reforms" - from the Nixon era to the Obama administration - that led to the current bureaucratic nightmare that causes Americans to pay almost twice as much as other advanced nations, with worse coverage and poor health outcomes. Our health care system is so dysfunctional, one business executive quipped, "If you tried to design a health care system that doesn't work, you couldn't have done a better job."Senator Marty's well-researched, thoroughly-documented proposal is a blueprint not only for Minnesota but for people across the country who are eager to create a health care system that works.

Not long ago, “bedside manner” was a physician’s most potent medicine. Now that skill has dwindled to bland, generic amiability, and has been all but lost behind today’s compelling healthcare technology. The bedside manner’s shrinkage would be tolerable if medical high tech could cure everything, but these amazing tools are alarmingly cost-ineffective in treating most patients—those who suffer from chronic, incurable illnesses and the effects of detrimental lifestyles. Paying far too much for too little return, Americans are understandably demanding healthcare reform, which we’re told lies in rearranging national finances. But beyond financial adjustment, authentic reform will have to come from reinstating ancient, intimate healing relationships between patient and doctor. Healing Healthcare describes how we arrived at this sorry impasse and where we need to go with a system that is as damaging to its doctors as it is to patients. Dr. Jeff Kane pinpoints and examines America’s love affair with medical technology, insistence on evading death at any cost, and practice of enabling unhealthy lifestyles. At its heart, Healing Healthcare shows that healing can begin only once doctors see patients clearly as individuals, and that through intimate contact, suffering can be productively treated.

This is the first practical guide for nurses on how to incorporate the knowledge, skills, and tools of Strength-Based Nursing Care (SBC) into everyday practice. The text, based on a model developed by the McGill University Nursing Program, signifies a paradigm shift from a deficit-based model to one that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.
