An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back

An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back

Elisabeth Rosenthal

The book examines how the American health care system has become profit-oriented. The author examines various aspects of the healthcare industry and offers insights into how individuals can fight back against an unfair system.

Key topics: The Commercialization of Healthcare: Rosenthal analyzes how healthcare has become a business model rather than patient-focused, with an emphasis on profit rather than health care.

Pricing and Transparency: The book discusses the disproportionately high costs of health care, the lack of transparency in pricing, and how it affects patients.

The Role of Insurance Companies: Explores how insurance companies affect access to care and drive up costs, often making it harder for patients to get the help they need.

Patient as consumer: Rosenthal emphasizes the importance of informing patients about their rights and options, encouraging them to become more active in managing their own health issues.

Possible solutions: The author offers suggestions on how to combat the negative aspects of the system, including strengthening joint initiatives and political changes.

Personal stories: The book includes real-life examples and stories from patients, helping to illustrate wider issues within the system.

Rosenthal's work invites readers to recognize inequities in the health care system and provides tools to actively participate in changes that can improve the system.
