The Hidden History of American Healthcare: Why Sickness Bankrupts You and Makes Others Insanely Rich (The Thom Hartmann Hidden History Series)
$11.99
Description
Book Synopsis: Popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why attempts to implement affordable universal healthcare in the United States have been thwarted and what we can do to finally make it a reality. "For-profit health insurance is the largest con job ever perpetrated on the American people—one that has cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives since the 1940s,” says Thom Hartmann. Other countries have shown us that affordable universal healthcare is not only possible but also effective and efficient. Taiwan’s single-payer system saved the country a fortune as well as saving lives during the coronavirus pandemic, enabling the country to implement a nationwide coronavirus test-and-contact-trace program without shutting down the economy. This resulted in just ten deaths, while more than 500,000 people have died in the United States. Hartmann offers a deep dive into the shameful history of American healthcare, showing how greed, racism, and oligarchic corruption led to the current “sickness for profit” system. Modern attempts to create versions of government healthcare have been hobbled at every turn, including Obamacare. There is a simple solution: Medicare for all. Hartmann outlines the extraordinary benefits this system would provide the American people and economy and the steps we need to take to make it a reality. It’s time for America to join every industrialized country in the world and make health a right, not a privilege.

Discover the eye-opening truth behind American healthcare with The Hidden History of American Healthcare: Why Sickness Bankrupts You and Makes Others Insanely Rich. Written by renowned author and progressive radio host Thom Hartmann, this groundbreaking book unravels the dark secrets of our for-profit healthcare system that have cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives. With his engaging storytelling and in-depth research, Hartmann exposes the greed, racism, and corrupt practices that have hindered our country's progress towards affordable universal healthcare.
While other countries have successfully implemented universal healthcare, the United States continues to struggle, resulting in skyrocketing medical costs and countless bankruptcies. But it doesn't have to be this way. Hartmann highlights the success of Taiwan's single-payer system, which not only saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic but also delivered significant economic benefits.

Despite the hurdles and resistance faced by past attempts to reform the healthcare system, Hartmann presents a clear and practical solution: Medicare for all. Drawing upon extensive research and expert analysis, he outlines the numerous advantages of this approach, both for individuals and the overall economy. It's time for America to shed its profit-driven healthcare system and embrace healthcare as a fundamental right for all.
