America is at a crossroads in healthcare policy. We cannot afford the status quo any longer. Our healthcare system is too expensive, unjustifiably complex, lacking in transparency, and short on viable options. It offers consumers almost no voice in their own purchasing decisions. The resulting frustration often turns to outrage misdirected at the providers, which prompts cries for more government regulation. The irony is that regulation, excessive, irrational, and ineffectual, is at the root of our discontent. Few Americans understand this because few understand the dysfunctional system that Congress has put in place over the last 50 years. If we are to take charge of our healthcare destiny, we need first to understand the state of the industry, how we have gotten to this unsustainable and intolerable point, and learn from our past mistakes. 50 Years of Failure offers a unique approach to gaining a fresh perspective on American healthcare. Using Congressional reports, audits, and other publicly available information the public almost never sees let alone uses, this book reveals how Congress has failed in its mission to deliver healthcare at a reasonable cost via Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs while simultaneously succeeding in preventing a free marketplace from delivering efficient and effective solutions for everyone. 50 Years of Failure delineates and details the inadequacies of bureaucratic fiat to effectively design and beneficially control 20% of our economy. It demonstrates the urgent imperative for Congress to change course and permit competitive market forces that drive other industries to determine how care is delivered, and at what price. Without our immediate action, we may forever lose the ability to achieve the goal of quality, efficiency, and consumer choice in American healthcare.

Most Americans know that our healthcare system is too expensive and unjustifiably complex. They feel hemmed in by the lack of options. They do not comprehend what they are buying, and they feel powerless to influence their own purchasing decisions. Understandably frustrated, our first instinct is to lash out at the greed of drug makers and providers. In this, we fail to recognize that the outrage, however justified, is misdirected.To understand what went so wrong with American healthcare, we must go back 50 years, to the 1960s with the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, and the regulatory and reimbursement provisions that followed. We must realize the effect that these had on the structure of the healthcare industry and the provision of care in this country. As grand and glorious as these public policy visions were, they lacked sound foundational planning, and they continue to suffer from irrational implementation. Relentless tweaks through half a century have only compounded the problems. This book uses Congressional reports and audits to conclusively demonstrate how fatally complex and utterly lost our healthcare policy has become. Congress has failed in its mission to deliver healthcare at a reasonable cost for the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and it has succeeded in establishing a regulatory environment that prevents the marketplace from delivering efficient and effective solutions for everyone. Yet, instead of focusing on the evidence before it, Congress is influenced by partisan voices and persists in passing legislation that only make matters worse.50 Years of Failed Healthcare Policy will leave no doubt about the inadequacies of bureaucratic fiat to design and control 20% of our economy, and the need to permit the competitive market forces that drive other industries to determine care, how it is delivered, and at what price. It is time, at long last, to obtain the elusive goal of quality and efficiency in healthcare by putting the consumer in control.

If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Some projects fail and many more disappoint; our news media often reports projects being over budget, or late, or failing to meet expectations; or all three. So what features of their specification, design, or management cause these failures? In this book, by using examples from around the world and the personal experience of 50 years of project engineering and management, both at the domestic and large industrial scale, the author leads the reader through the traps that await the unwary or inexperienced, whatever their role within a project team. While there is much here for full-time professional Project Managers, this is not a book written exclusively for them and the problems of domestic and community projects are also considered. Like all professions, project management has developed a whole range of esoteric processes, complex computerized tools and jargon that can make the role seem exclusive and unrelated to those who occasionally find themselves undertaking the role. The Author defines nine natural laws underlying the processes and common to projects of every size and type that, if broken or ignored, will lead to project failure; each law has its own chapter. The author makes no apology for mixing the industrial and domestic tasks of project management because these laws are fully scalable, from refurbishing your kitchen to building a factory in a foreign land. The full range of project management and site management tasks get a mention in this easy to read book, the use of which will certainly save you from wasting time and money, whatever your role in the wide project community.

This Handbook is written for mechanical designers, engineers, manufacturers, and constructors who wish to take advantage of all that has been learned by mechanical and structural failures over the past 50 years in order to avoid similar failures in the future and to evaluate Fitness for Service. It also provides valuable lessons to litigators for resolving degrees of liabilities. This Handbook is not intended to summarize well-known structural integrity considerations in design, manufacturing and construction, most of which are covered by Safety Codes and Standards. Rather, this Handbook is intended as a reminder of the lessons learned in the analyses of actual failures. These lessons serve as a check list of structural integrity issues for new design and Fitness for Service not commonly included in the technical literature in a practical applied manner. The actual failures of equipment and structures provide the best indications of the likely failures of new equipment and Fitness for Service of used equipment. The lessons in this Handbook were learned from such failures and provide the best lessons for avoiding future failures. Hopefully, this Handbook will help prevent the repetition of repeated tragic mistakes from the past.
