Description

Explore the complex reality of American healthcare in this insightful volume from the Policy, Politics, Health and Medicine Series. Published by Routledge, this book examines the fundamental reasons why a national health program has not been implemented in the United States. Author Vicente Narraro provides a deep look into the systemic forces that shape national policy. The text explains how the insurance industry and the medical industrial complex act as the primary drivers of health policy, often exerting more influence over government decisions than the general public. By analyzing these power structures, the book demonstrates that the United States has the actual capability to provide comprehensive and universal health benefits coverage to the majority of its population. Furthermore, it argues that such a system could be achieved at lower costs than the current healthcare non-system. This is an essential read for anyone interested in public health, political science, and the economic structures of the American medical landscape.
