About the Book

A bold new remedy for the sprawling and wasteful health care industry. Where else but the doctor's office do you have to fill out a form on a clipboard? Have you noticed that hospital bills are almost unintelligible, except for the absurdly high dollar amount? Why is it that technology in other industries drives prices down, but in health care it's the reverse? And why, in health care, is the customer so often treated as a mere bystander-and an ignorant one at that? The same American medical establishment that saves lives and performs wondrous miracles is also a £2.7 trillion industry in deep dysfunction. And now, with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), it is called on to extend full benefits to tens of millions of newly insured. You might think that this would leave us with a bleak choice- either to devote more of our national budget to health care or to make do with less of it. But there's another path. In this provocative book, Jonathan Bush, cofounder and CEO of athenahealth, ca

Review :
"I loved this book. Jonathan Bush is a goggle-eyed radical foaming for revolution in the house of health care--with the crucial, page-turning difference that for years he's actually been delivering on it. His story alone is worth the price of admission. He's driven ambulances in New Orleans, remade child delivery in San Diego, and built an Internet company that is transforming the way people practice medicine. And along the way you'll learn more about the real world of how health care works than should be possible for a book this interesting. Jonathan Bush is a singular new voice in American health care." --Atul Gawande, surgeon, professor, and author of "The Checklist Manifesto"
"This is a compelling, entertaining story--an insider's perspective on American health care by someone who has been closely involved in its reshaping. Few people amass Jonathan Bush's kind of experience or articulate as clearly what lies ahead." --Abraham Verghese, physician and author of "Cutting for Stone"
"Jonathan Bush is not only a brilliant visionary but he walks the talk when it comes to tackling the dysfunctions of our health care system. Reading this book will help you understand why things are as broken as they are and inspire you to be part of the fix."
--Regina Herzlinger, Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author of "Who
Killed Health Care? ""America's $2 Trillion Medical Problem--and the Consumer-Driven Cure"
"Health care has successfully resisted organizational innovation to the detriment of our health and our economy. In "Where Does It Hurt?" Jonathan Bush gives exciting accounts of current innovation, and irreverently imagines an attainable future in which a vibrant medical marketplace is driven by health entrepreneurs, of which he himself is a prime example. Patients, physicians and policy wonks alike would be well served to take the provocative and illuminating tour." --Jeffrey Flier, MD, deann
