    InHumana - An American...

    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.

    How to Make a Killing - Blood...

    Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
     
     
     
    With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
     
     
     
    How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.
