<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A penetrating work of reporting about the failure of America's medical system, as examined through the stories of the people who engineered the current health care revolution and those who have suffered from it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>America's health care system is unraveling, with millions of hard-working people unable to pay for prescription drugs and regular checkups, let alone hospital visits. Jonathan Cohn traveled across the United States--the only country in the developed world that does not guarantee its citizens access to medical care--to investigate why this crisis is happening and to see firsthand its impact on ordinary Americans.
