When Dr. David Cundiff called me with a proposal to help research
and write The Right Medicine I was intrigued but skep tical. His
ideas for reform of the US health care system were visionary,
radical, and highly original-but would they work? As a Wall Street
analyst and long-time student of the health care system, I had my
doubts. had read David's book on hospice care, Euthanasia Is Not
the I Answer, and was impressed. And I had recently witnessed the
slow death of my grandmother from the complications of Alzheimer's
disease. Despite the fact that she was and had been suffering for
years and despite the fact that her care was an extraordinary
emotional and financial burden, nursing home administrators and
physicians encouraged one last ditch treat ment after another,
pulling her back each time from the brink of what would have been a
merciful death. I knew that David was correct in his contention
that hospice care and a more spar ing application of high
technology medicine were major keys to improving health care. I
also realized, after a decade of analyzing the health care
industry, that a government-funded system along the lines of
Canada's was probably the only way to rein in rampant infla tion
and provide universal coverage. But David had other ideas, too. He
argued that preventive care could dramatically cut both the
incidence and costs associ ated with the most common causes of
illness in America today.
