Description

As the United States faces a growing health care crisis, the aging population presents a significant challenge to existing systems. In The Old Age Challenge to the Biomedical Model, authors Longino and Murphy examine the philosophical and technological roots of the biomedical model to explain why it struggles to meet the current and future demand for chronic disease management. This book explores how the current medical framework is reaching its limits. The authors argue that for the delivery of health care to survive the pressures of an aging society, the medical system must undergo a process of democratization. By moving toward a more inclusive system, the healthcare industry can achieve a more reasonable allocation of resources. Part of the Society and Aging Series, this work provides a deep look at the paradigm strain within modern medicine. It is a necessary read for those studying health policy, sociology, and the future of medical care delivery in a changing demographic landscape.
