  InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
  Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
  InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer, the narrative explores the disturbing intersection of faith and violence through the story of the Lafferty brothers. The book delves into the history of Mormonism, particularly its fundamentalist offshoots, to understand the brothers' descent into religious extremism. It examines how a strict adherence to religious texts, combined with personal revelations, can lead to brutal acts. The narrative parallels the Lafferty's actions with historical events such as the Mountain Meadows Massacre, illustrating a recurring pattern of violence justified by religious belief. The book poses questions about the nature of faith, literalism, and the fine line between religious conviction and delusion.
