An engaging and upbeat book, The Long Fix doesn’t flinch from the challenges needed to overhaul the US health care system, but rather helps the reader envision what’s necessary for every player—hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, patients, and technology companies among others—to play their part. Weaving together diverse case studies with richly referenced explanations and analyses, Lee paints a picture of a brighter future where the right investments in prevention, public health, data, and technology can create a better health care system for all.
