America's Bitter Pill
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Americaas Bitter Pill is Steven Brillas acclaimed book on how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was written, how it is being implemented, and, most important, how it is changingaand failing to changeathe rampant abuses in the healthcare industry. Itas a fly-on-the-wall account of the titanic fight to pass a 961-page law aimed at fixing Americaas largest, most dysfunctional industry. Itas a penetrating chronicle of how the profiteering that Brill first identified in his trailblazing Time magazine cover story continues, despite Obamacare. And it is the first complete, inside account of how President Obama persevered to push through the law, but then failed to deal with the staff incompetence and turf wars that crippled its implementation. But by chance Americaas Bitter Pill ends up being much moreabecause 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 apolicya rethinks it from a hospital gurneyaand 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.
