In "The Hidden History of American Healthcare," Thom Hartmann delivers a powerful and eye-opening exploration of the tangled web of greed, racism, and corruption that has plagued the American healthcare system for decades. With meticulous research and compelling arguments, Hartmann exposes the insidious forces at play behind the for-profit healthcare industry and offers a bold vision for a more just and equitable future.

Hartmann begins by dismantling common misconceptions and debunking the myths that have perpetuated the status quo. He traces the roots of America's dysfunctional healthcare system, revealing how profit-driven motives have consistently trumped the well-being of patients.

Despite the gravity of the subject matter, Hartmann offers hope: Medicare for all. Drawing on examples from other countries, Hartmann demonstrates that universal healthcare is not only achievable but also essential for the well-being of society as a whole. His thorough research and thoughtful analysis shed light on the predatory practices of insurance companies and the urgent need for systemic change.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

WOW! This book blew me away with the overt racist history behind American Healthcare. I loved that the author laid out all of the reasons people give to NOT wanting single payer or Medicare for all....socialism, people would overwhelm the system with nonsense, etc. The author combats these arguments with facts and how to make a single payer system happen.
Its beyond time that the American system is reformed and includes more people.
BRAVO to the author for covering this timely topic.

Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for giving me this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
