NEW YORK Instances BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES Well known Reserve • America’s Bitter Pill is normally Steven Brill’s acclaimed book on what the Affordable Treatment Act, or Obamacare, was written, how it is being applied, and, most important, how it really is changing-and failing to change-the rampant abuses in the healthcare industry. It’s a fly-on-the-wall account from the titanic battle to move a 961-web page law aimed at fixing America’s largest, most dysfunctional sector. It’s a penetrating chronicle of how the about America’s Bitter Tablet: Money, Politics, Backroom Deals, and the Combat to repair Our Broken Healthcare Program profiteering that Brill initial identified in his trailblazing Period magazine cover tale proceeds, despite Obamacare. Which is the first complete, inside accounts of how Chief executive Obama persevered to drive through the law, but then didn’t cope with the personnel incompetence and turf wars that crippled its execution.

But by chance America’s Bitter Tablet ends up becoming very much more-because as Brill was completing this book, he had to undergo urgent open-heart surgery. Thus, this also becomes the storyplot of how one individual who thinks he knows everything about health care “plan” rethinks it from a hospital gurney-and combines that insight with his excellent reporting. The result: a amazing new eyesight of how we can fix American healthcare so that it stops draining the lender accounts of our families and our businesses, as well as the federal treasury.
