Description
American healthcare has become a highly profitable industry, but at what cost? Elisabeth Rosenthal's investigation into the evolution of American medicine reveals how this caring endeavor was transformed into a business model that prioritizes profits over people. The author breaks down the complex system into its individual industries, exposing the recent changes that have led to impossibly high insurance premiums and large bills for patients. Hospital systems, managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Rosenthal offers practical solutions to the myriad problems plaguing American healthcare, making this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and address these issues.
