Beyond the outrageous expense, the quality of care varies wildly, and millions of Americans can't get care when they need it. This is bad for patients, bad for doctors, and bad for business.

In The Long Fix, physician and health care CEO Vivian S. Lee, MD, cuts to the heart of the health care crisis. The problem with the way medicine is practiced, she explains, is not so much who's paying, it's what we are paying for. Insurers, employers, the government, and individuals pay for every procedure, prescription, and lab test, whether or not it makes us better--and that is both backward and dangerous.

Dr. Lee proposes turning the way we receive care completely inside out. When doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies are paid to keep people healthy, care improves and costs decrease. Lee shares inspiring examples of how this has been done, from physicians' practices that prioritize preventative care, to hospitals that adapt lessons from manufacturing plants to make them safer, to health care organizations that share online how much care costs and how well each physician is caring for patients.

Using clear and compelling language, Dr. Lee paints a picture that is both realistic and optimistic. It may not be a quick fix, but her concrete action plan for reform--for employers and other payers, patients, clinicians, and policy makers--can reinvent health care, and create a less costly, more efficient, and healthier system for all.

Great watch, buy it!

I tested all the negative feedback comments and didn’t find any of them to be accurate. This is a great watch with a beautiful dial. End of story.

Beautiful Watch, But It Doesn't Work and Customer Support is Non-Existent
Color: Sliver Band Blue Face-5009, Color: Sliver Band Blue Face-5009
Update: However, after two weeks I noticed the watch would stop working. I would reset the time and it would work for a day or two and stop again. It happened several times. I tried contacting the seller through Amazon twice but they never replied. The phone number listed by Amazon's Contact the Seller doesn't work. I tried calling it twice and all I got was a message saying that my call could not be connected. I contacted Amazon and they authorized a return and now I'm going to have to find a different watch from a different Amazon seller. I'm extremely disappointed because I really loved this watch! I can not in good conscience ever recommend this brand of watches so I changed my review form a 5 star to a 1 star. Previous review: The model I purchased is the OLEVS Stainless Steel Quartz Movement model # 5009G with the blue face. I chose this watch because I have a 9" wrist and this particular model came with a 9.05" band and it fits perfectly! It opens just big enough to slip over my XXL hand the band is just loose enough to have the slightest shift back and forth when closed so it is quite comfortable to wear. The watch is truly beautiful, and light weight. I can't believe how low the price was! My eyesight is not the best so I don't need a fancy watch with three different dials on the face (truthfully I didn't really need the date on this watch since I can't read it without glasses) but I can glance down at the watch and tell the time, and that's all I need. The watch came with the band extended to its longest length, but a tool was included to adjust the band to a smaller size if needed. This manufacturer has many, beautiful watches to choose from! But be careful if band length is a special concern for you. Make certain when you select the color and design you want to scroll down to "Looking for specific info" and ask what the band length is. I found it can vary between the different watches shown on the order page you're viewing. Some watches will have a band length listed in millimeters and others in inches, so you may need to do some conversions. The watch looks very similar to a Citizen watch I've been wearing for at least 15 years (probably closer to 20). The Citizen had been eating $5 batteries every two months for years, and it still lost time like crazy. I finally decided enough was enough and started looking for a nice watch. This is for everyday, and formal wear.
