"The Hidden History of American Healthcare"

Aired on Monday, September 13th.

Our guest on this edition of ST Medical Monday is the progressive radio host, multimedia personality, and bestselling author Thom Hartmann. He tells us about his newest book, "The Hidden History of American Healthcare: Why Sickness Bankrupts You and Makes Others Insanely Rich." It's an engaging and highly readable narrative looking at how and why efforts to enact truly affordable universal healthcare in the U.S. have been repeatedly thwarted...and what might be done in order to finally realize this. Per a critic writing for Booklist: "Hartmann's take on our health care debacle is informative, fascinating, and hopefully useful."
