by Selvoy M. Fillerup, MD, MSPH, FACS

The United States healthcare system leaks lives and dollars like a sieve. It neglects the needy and the poor. It is immoral. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It is, quite simply, broken.

Dr. Selvoy Fillerup is an expert on international healthcare policy. As such, he has a uniquely informed perspective on why healthcare systems of other countries work, and why the US healthcare system does not. Chronic Crisis is straightforward, accessible, and direct to the point about one of the hottest political topics of our time. Explicitly nonpartisan, Dr. Fillerup offers a fresh look and reasonable solutions for this growing domestic crisis. Concerned Americans cannot afford to neglect this book!

"Practical, sensitive, sensible, attainable - and most critical to all citizens if we are ever to avoid a total meltdown of our healthcare systems in the United States."
-Senator Alan K Simpson, Retired (WY)

"This book has something new. These ideas deserve airing and attention."
-John McDonough, PhD, Healthcare for All
