The VHA compared to the private sector -- Conclusion : a system worth saving and making even better.U.S. military conflicts abroad have left nine million Americans dependent on the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for medical care. Their "wounds of war" are treated by the largest hospital system in the country-one that has come under fire from critics in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in the nation's media. The resulting public debate about the future of veterans' health care has pitted VHA patients and their care-givers against politicians and policy-makers who believe that former military personnel would be better served by private health care providers.This high stakes controversy led Suzanne Gordon, award-winning health care journalist and author, to seek insight from veterans and their families, VHA staff and administrators, advocates for veterans, and proponents of privatization. Gordon spent five years closely observing the VHA's treatment of patients suffering from service related injuries, physical and mental.In Wounds of War, Gordon describes how the VHA-tasked with a challenging patient population- does a better job than private sector institutions offering primary and geriatric care, mental health and home care services, and support for patients nearing the end of life. The VHA, Gordon argues, is an integrated health care system worthy of wider emulation, rather than piece-meal dismantling for the benefit of private contractors. In the unusual culture of solidarity between patients and providers that the VHA has fostered, the author finds a working model for higher quality health care and a much-needed alternative to the practice of for-profit medicine.Culture and politics of health care work.VeteransMedical careUnited StatesElectronic books.VeteransMedical care362.860973Gordon Suzanne1945-1030710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466922403321Wounds of war2448701UNINA02731nam 22006013u 450 991078777520332120210107030810.01-4008-4080-597866131334581-283-13345-810.1515/9781400840809(CKB)2670000000491354(EBL)713594(OCoLC)730151753(MiAaPQ)EBC713594(DE-B1597)446869(OCoLC)979755088(DE-B1597)9781400840809(EXLCZ)99267000000049135420131216d2011|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEvolutionary Ecology of Parasites[electronic resource] (Second Edition)SecondPrinceton Princeton University Press20111 online resource (343 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-691-12084-6 Cover; Contents; Preface; 1: Introduction; 2: Origins of Parasitism and Complex Life Cycles; 3: Host Specificity; 4: Evolution of Parasite Life-History Strategies; 5: Strategies of Host Exploitation; 6: Parasite Aggregation: Causes and Consequences; 7: Parasite Population Dynamics and Genetics; 8: Interactions between Species and the Parasite Niche; 9: Parasite Infracommunity Structure; 10: Component Communities and Parasite Faunas; 11 Conclusion; References; Index Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and other animals in fundamental ways, but in recent years they have become a powerful model system for the study of ecology and evolution, with practical applications in disease prevention. Here, in a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his influential earlier work, Robert Poulin provides an evolutionary ecologist's view of the biology of parasites.
