"An American Sickness" Now In Paperback: Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal

Kaiser Family Foundation

In The Moment ... March 23, 2018 Show 303 Hour 1

In 2017, public polling showed that fixing healthcare was the number one political priority of Democrats, Republicans and Independents, surpassing jobs and terrorism. And yet, solutions are hard fought and rarely won.

Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal is editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health news. Her book "An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back" takes an in-depth look at how the practice of medicine became more about revenue generation than healing.

The book is now in paperback, and Dr. Rosenthal returns to In the Moment.
