"Our political system has become big business--and business is booming--yet solutions to big problems seem impossible. Behold, the political-industrial complex. Rampant lobbying and gerrymandering. Election spending rising exponentially with each cycle. The Democratic and Republican parties competing furiously against each other for advantage, while together--as a duopoly--having a lock on the entire industry. And yet, who is this system for? Citizens, of course. Tragically, as the political system has transformed into an industry, it has also become totally dysfunctional, incapable of delivering solutions to America's key economic and social challenges. Would-be reformers debate endlessly about various ways to "fix the system," such as term limits or revised campaign finance laws, but few of these have been seriously proposed, let alone implemented. In The Politics Industry, leading political innovation activist Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter take a radically different approach. They ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis--and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework--to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does. Even more importantly, they argue that the political system can be changed, just as industries can be changed, by adopting a new and different strategy, a clear set of choices of things to do--and not do--in four key areas: the election process, the legislative "machinery," the role of money, and the opening up of competition. The authors focus only on those solutions that are powerful and capable of having a significant impact, as well as achievable within a short period. The Politics Industry is an original and completely nonpartisan guide that will open any thinking citizen's eyes to the real dynamics and profound challenges of the American political system and provide powerful and practicable solutions for reshaping the system for the benefit of all"-- Provided by publisher

Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem ist auf Kollisionskurs mit der ökonomischen Realität. Die Kosten sind hoch und steigen weiter, und Qualitätsprobleme bei den Leistungserbringern werden immer offensichtlicher. Jahrzehnte von Reformen haben diesen besorgniserregenden Trend kaum geändert. Warum hat es Deutschland nicht geschafft, die Kosten- und Qualitätsprobleme zu lösen? Das heutige System ist dominiert von Partikularinteressen. Nicht Kostenkontrolle, sondern die Steigerung des Patientennutzens – definiert als Behandlungsergebnis pro ausgegebenem Euro – ist das Ziel, das alle Akteure vereinigen kann. Dazu muss man nicht auf die nächste Gesundheitsreform warten. Massive Verbesserungen lassen sich schon heute zum Vorteil aller verwirklichen. In den zwölf Empfehlungen des Buches geht es darum, wie sich Leistungserbringer um Krankheitsbilder organisieren, wie Wettbewerb um messbare Ergebnisqualität die Norm wird, wie Krankenkassen eine aktivere Rolle in der Gesundheit ihrer Versicherten einnehmen und wie das Vergütungssystem zukünftig Exzellenz in der Versorgung einzelner Krankheitsbilder belohnen sollte. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Autoren, warum die Einbindung der Privaten Krankenversicherung in den Risikostrukturausgleich der Gesetzlichen Krankenkassen unausweichlich ist. Wenn der Patientennutzen in den Mittelpunkt gestellt wird, entstehen Chancen für alle.
