Health Care Revolt: How to Organize, Build a Health Care System, and Resuscitate Democracy—All at the Same Time – Michael Fine

The U.S. does not have a health system. Instead we have market for health-related goods and services, a market in which the few profit from the public’s ill-health. Health Care Revolt looks around the world for examples of health care systems that are effective and affordable, pictures such a system for the U.S., and creates a practical playbook for a political revolution in health care that will allow the nation to protect health while strengthening democracy. Dr. Fine writes with the wisdom of a clinician, the savvy of a state public health commissioner, the precision of a scholar, and the energy and commitment of a community organizer. Praise: “This is a revolutionary book. The author incites readers to embark on an audacious revolution to convert the American medical market into the American health care system.”—T.P. Gariepy, Stonehill College/CHOICE connect “Michael Fine is one of the true heroes of primary care over several decades.”—Dr. Doug Henley, CEO and executive
