This book tells the story of the United States’ healthcare system, which is built by and for the opportunistic motives of powerful corporations, politicians, and government initiatives. It answers questions that most people have about why it is that American healthcare claims to be the best in the world, yet Americans do not enjoy the longest or healthiest lives. Why is it that the United States spends much more on its healthcare system but gets less in return? How did the United States develop a healthcare system that is expensive, hard to use, and seems to be guided by profit seeking corporations instead of the health needs of the people? How did the US healthcare system respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and what did the pandemic teach us about the strengths and weaknesses of the American way of health care? Legislators, health care students, consumers, policy makers, and advocates for health care justice can take this book as an introduction to the failing health care system that the author calls a threat to national security.
