America’s Healthcare Crisis, The Facts and a Resolution by Gerald P. Balcar with a foreword by Theodore R. Marmor.

Gerry Balcar, a former corporate vice president of an American multinational in several specialized technologies, is credited with authorship for directing and organizing five years of research by Olin Frederick staff in conjunction with those in the Healthcare Project of the Foundation for Truth in the Affairs of Democracy. (See www.ftad.org)  It is a comprehensive financial, economic, and statistical study of the American healthcare system which presents the results of comparison with other industrialized nations, the reasons for the high American costs, and offers a model of the finances and savings of an advanced single payer system including how to manage it. It demonstrates that “care denial induced illness” caused by the inability of 100 million Americans to access primary care plus the excess costs of administration, and defense against plaintiff lawyers are the key reasons. It dispels the idea that American diet, over treatments and medical errors are responsible. There is an informed discussion of the various players in the crisis including Wall Street investment bankers and lenders. The model dispels plaintiff lawyers from medicine  with a hurdle of scientific review prior to court action. However,  it accommodates present health

insurance and managed care companies in new useful and profitable roles.  It is unique in that the research team was multidisciplinary in business, economics, government, social services,  statistics and the law, as well as medicine and medical administration. Their work was peer reviewed by a medical administrator, a physician executive, and professors of economics and public health statistics.
