Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
The Author Barbara Galutia Regis ,M.S.,PA-C clearly and passionately shares her cancer journey from when she was diagnosed all through surgery and therapy. It is amazing how she shares her experience of being a patient instead of the caregiver as she was used to and how supportive her husband is throughout the treatment. The author also points out the importance of investing or having access to health insurance and health savings account plans which has saved her from financial ruin. She shares her experience with commercial bankers and how some aspects of business do not change since she goes through the same situation as her father.
Of course I find this book informative and helpful on healthcare insurance plans and the challenges the self-pay patients go through to get the services. Barbara also notes how quickly someone's life can change forever. The author gives hope to other cancer patients in the world through her book and her positive attitude towards the treatment especially after the infusions. The book also points out the challenges people are facing with financial institutions when starting business and after the success of their businesses. Barbara Regis brings to our attention how healthcare has changed from what it used to be, when human lives were always put before profit/money as compared to now where money comes before human lives and the bonds between patient and provider are no longer there. It tells us how important it is to have health insurance in these times which give you quick access to healthcare services.
The chapters are very short and not inclusive. As the title goes, Surviving the "Business" of Healthcare -Knowledge is Power! I was expecting the book to be elaborate on the challenges Barbara Galutia Regis goes through while it kind of shows how privileged she is since she could get an appointment by texting a friend, whereas there were other patients waiting for their appointments. It simply shows us how the "who do you know?" favors some people while for those who do not have anyone have to rely on booked appointments to be attended to or in order for them to get the basic services.
I rate this book three out of four stars because it is very informative on healthcare plans and the importance of having access to healthcare insurance.
The book is suitable for all audiences because cancer affects people of all ages without any exemption and the author brings hope to all those battling it.
