Critical condition / Barlett, Donald L

Presents an expose of health care in America, arguing that the system, which was once largely not-for-profit, has become a field controlled by profit motive and market forces, discussing the disparity in levels of care and costs, looking at the millions who are without insurance or are underinsured, and calling for an end to market-based medicine.

Examines current medical care in the United States focusing on people with inadequate coverage, unclean clinics and operating rooms, shrinking benefits, and health industries which are unable to solve the problems.
