America's Bitter Pill
Autor Steven Brillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2015
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.
