America's Bitter Pill

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2015

"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER A "NEW YORK TIMES" NOTABLE BOOK "America s Bitter Pill" is Steven Brill s acclaimed book on how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was written, how it is being implemented, and, most important, how it is changing and failing to change the rampant abuses in the healthcare industry. It s a fly-on-the-wall account of the titanic fight to pass a 961-page law aimed at fixing America s largest, most dysfunctional industry. It s a penetrating chronicle of how the profiteering that Brill first identified in his trailblazing" Time" magazine cover story continues, despite Obamacare. And it is the first complete, inside account of how President Obama persevered to push through the law, but then failed to deal with the staff incompetence and turf wars that crippled its implementation.
But by chance "America s Bitter Pill" ends up being much more because as Brill was completing this book, he had to undergo urgent open-heart surgery. Thus, this also becomes the story of how one patient who thinks he knows everything about healthcare policy rethinks it from a hospital gurney and combines that insight with his brilliant reporting. The result: a surprising new vision of how we can fix American healthcare so that it stops draining the bank accounts of our families and our businesses, and the federal treasury.
