A book called Catastrophic Care came out recently. It's written by a guy named David Goldhill, who wrote a cover story for The Atlantic in 2009 on broken incentives in the healthcare industry that tend over time to push prices up and quality down. (His unrelated day job is CEO of the Game Show Network.)
The book gets at the problems in the industry on a much deeper level than anything else I've seen.
For a good summary, check out Goldhill's Big Think interview on the subject: http://bigthink.com/ideas/big-think-interview-with-david-goldhill http://bigthink.com/ideas/big-think-interview-with-david-gol...
