A 360-degree look at health care politics, policy, providers, and personalization that offers leaders important perspectives to successfully shape US health care after COVID-19 Over the past decade, the health economy has experienced the most dramatic change since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid, demographic-driven Medicare growth, and the digitization of health records have rapidly changed the traditional dynamics of the field-and the pandemic has accelerated this process. Experienced and aspiring health sector leaders must navigate an increasingly complex health care landscape in order to conceive, create, and implement solutions to improve our health care system now and in the future. The New Health Economy provides health professionals with a 360-degree look at the field by exploring four pillars of the health economy: politics, policy, providers, and personalization. Topics covered include the federal government's role as the largest payer and regulator of health care, health care finance and the shift from the fee-for-service model toward value-based care, the increasing consolidation of provider networks, and data-driven personalizations inside and outside of the field. Drawing from interviews with top leaders in the field-including a former CDC director, a former FDA commissioner, and the current CEOs of Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson-this essential guide compares each sector before and during the COVID-19 crisis. These comparisons shed light on how the pandemic has accelerated recent trends in health care and provide leaders with an outline for a strategic path forward. The New Health Economy brings together the best thinking from across the health care sector, providing insight into COVID-19's impact on the health economy and setting the ground rules required to shape a new health care system as we emerge from the pandemic. This valuable resource will benefit CEOs and other leaders in the health economy, from hospitals to provider networks and beyond.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christina Hendricks, Richard Jenkins and John Turturro star in this comedy drama directed by John Slattery and adapted from the novel by Pete Dexter. In the 1970s in the working-class town of God's Pocket, troubled 20-something Leon (Caleb Landry Jones) is seemingly accidentally killed on a building site. At the request of Leon's mother Jeannie (Hendricks), who is convinced there was some foul play, her husband, small-time criminal Mickey Scarpato (Hoffman), investigates the death with the help of his friend Arthur 'Bird' Capezio (Turturro). Meanwhile, the well-known journalist Richard Shellburn (Jenkins) is also searching for the truth behind the incident and gets close to Jeannie in the process.

I have stood by their side in the grim conflict,"" wrote Union Captain John Chamberlin. ""Woe to the nation that long upholds their rights from them."" Chamberlin, commander of the 1st Louisiana Native Guard, spent nearly five years in the South during and after the Civil War. A well read, observant and articulate writer, his letters and diaries record his unique perspective on commanding black soldiers and engineers in the Corps d'Afrique. More than an everyday account of camp life and battles, Chamberlin's writings-here presented in historical context-give an insider's view of the Union army's relationship with black troops and the political and social implications of wartime events. Late in the war, his correspondence focused on a schoolmate, Anna Bullock, and their burgeoning relationship.
