Appeal of Insurance
Insurance today is a global economic colossus and a fixture in the developed countries of the world. Dependant upon a considerable dose of moral exhortation and enlightened appeal, the insurance industry has become a pervasive agent of social and economic control through its delineation of acceptable (compensated) and unacceptable (uncompensated) risk.The Appeal of Insurance traces the ways in which insurance, over the past three centuries, has grown in concert with a clientele largely of its own making. Drawing on the fields of history, sociology, criminology and economics, these essays break new ground in insurance studies by illuminating the dialectical relationship between the expansion of the insurance business and the public demand for economic and social security.

Who Shall Live?
'Vic Fuchs' Who Shall Live? is the most important book ever on health economics. It has inspired us all these many years, and it is terrific to see a new edition, post-Obamacare and post-pandemic.'Sir Angus S DeatonRecipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics 2015'In considering the great health challenges of our time Victor Fuchs' work remains more important than ever. In the third edition, Fuchs' seminal text has been expanded to reflect recent policy and politics. It remains essential reading to better understand the complex interaction between social determinants, health and health care costs.'Victor J Dzau, MDPresident, National Academy of MedicineSince the first edition of Who Shall Live? (1974), over 100,000 students, teachers, physicians, and general readers from more than a dozen fields have found this book to be a reader-friendly, authoritative introduction to economic concepts applied to health and medical care.Health care is by far the largest industry in the United States. It is three times larger than education and five times as large as national defense. In 2001, Americans spent over $12,500 per person for hospitals, physicians, drugs and other health care services and goods. Other high-income democracies spend one third less, enjoy three more years of life expectancy, and have more equal access to medical care.In this book, each of the chapters of the original edition is followed by supplementary readings on such subjects as: 'Social Determinants of Health: Caveats and Nuances', 'The Structure of Medical Education -- It's Time for a Change', and 'How to Save $1 Trillion Out of Health Care'.The ten years following publication of the 2nd expanded edition in 2011 were arguably more turbulent for US health and health care than any other ten-year period since World War II. They span the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the deepening opioid epidemic, and the physical, psychological, and socio-economic traumas of the COVID-19 pandemic.An important new contribution to this book is to describe and analyze the changes in five sections: 'The Affordable Care Act and the Uninsured', 'Health Care Expenditures', 'Health Outcomes', 'The COVID-19 Pandemic', and 'Health and Politics'. This part includes 24 tables and figures.This book will be welcomed by students, professionals, and life-long learners to gain increased understanding of the relation between health, economics, and social choice.

Markets vs Public Health Systems
Problems related to the functioning of public healthcare systems encourage the search for alternative solutions, for example to ensure improved access to medical services. However, these proposals also require appropriate theoretical support to better present and apply them. This book draws on Austrian Economics to provide a theoretical framework to support greater involvement of the private sector to improve inefficiencies in public healthcare.The Austrian School of Economics has a solid theoretical output describing and explaining the functioning of many aspects of the market economy (e.g. money, prices, interest rate, or capital). This work applies those principles to a market-based healthcare system and its individual elements, including health insurance. The study in these chapters is divided into two parts. The first part contains the theoretical aspects of the functioning of a complete market system. Particular importance is placed on presenting health insurance as a market institution and exploring its role in the market system. This examination also includes an analysis of alternative forms of financing access to medical services, such as direct payments, medical savings accounts, medical subscriptions, and charity. Additionally, solid counterarguments are provided for so-called market failures: asymmetric information, public goods, and monopolies. The second part of the book explores the theoretical aspects of interventionism and the functioning of public systems, and aims to better highlight the sources of the associated problems.This work provides an important contribution to the literature on health economics, healthcare management and policy, and Austrian Economics more broadly. It is essential reading for health economists and those holding key public positions related to healthcare.Winner of the Award of the President of the Lublin Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences for Humanities and Social Sciences for books published in 2021

Dying to Save You
Americans are suffering from chronic disease, and our healthcare system can't save us. Sometimes it makes us worse. In fact, we don't have a healthcare system in this country-we have a four-trillion-dollar sickcare system that profits off people struggling with chronic disease. Primary care doctors are responsible for keeping us healthy, but our primary care system is broken. Worse, the policies and science that led to great medical advances in the past are insufficient to help in the future. Nothing seems to be working. But a paradigm shift is underway that is about to change everything. In Dying to Save You, Dr. William Queale takes you behind the scenes of our sickcare system. He uses deeply personal stories to explain how we got here and how systems thinking can get us out. But Dying to Save You isn't just about medicine, science, and healthcare policy. This book is about you-and how you can stay out of the sickcare system altogether.

Dying to Save You
Americans are suffering from chronic disease, and our healthcare system can't save us. Sometimes it makes us worse. In fact, we don't have a healthcare system in this country-we have a four-trillion-dollar sickcare system that profits off people struggling with chronic disease. Primary care doctors are responsible for keeping us healthy, but our primary care system is broken. Worse, the policies and science that led to great medical advances in the past are insufficient to help in the future. Nothing seems to be working. But a paradigm shift is underway that is about to change everything. In Dying to Save You, Dr. William Queale takes you behind the scenes of our sickcare system. He uses deeply personal stories to explain how we got here and how systems thinking can get us out. But Dying to Save You isn't just about medicine, science, and healthcare policy. This book is about you-and how you can stay out of the sickcare system altogether.

Lapsed
Will your universal life insurance policy LAPSE while you are still alive?Attention Policyholders: If you own a universal life insurance policy (UL, IUL, VUL) or Group UL/VUL insurance policy from ANY life insurance provider, you must purchase this book to learn why your "permanent" policy could lapse (cease to exist) despite making all your payments. Attention Investors: If you are an investor (bonds or equities) in the life insurance sector, you must purchase this book to understand the massive risk to which you are exposed. After researching over 5,000 MetLife individual UL and VUL policies totaling over $1,000,000,000 ($1B) in death benefits, author and financial advisor, Elan Moas exposes how these policies are designed to fail rather than succeed. In Q1 2023, he presented his findings to the state of Massachusetts, the SEC, and submitted two new whistleblower complaints based on his research. His findings show why 90% of these policies will likely lapse before paying a death benefit. The research reveals how: - Lapsing UL and VUL policies are an entire life insurance industry problem, not just MetLife- "Target" funding is where advisors and insurers maximize their commission but leave the insured with a policy destined to lapse. - The May 2023 IUL Actuarial Guideline 49B (AG49B) update means that IUL sales made prior to that date were likely made with wrong investment illustration assumptions. The IUL chapter will leave all IUL policyholders horrified.- Group UL/VUL policies offered to entire states and Fortune 500 companies are full of fatal structural policy flaws.- Older adults' cash values are wiped out prior to their policy lapsing. That is elder abuse.- To request your very own "in-force illustration," which is the future policy projection. The unfortunate result of decades of life insurance industry greed and regulatory oversight incompetence will lead to the "Subprime Universal Life Insurance Company Crash of 2023."
