About this ebook
The American Health-Care Crisis puts into layman's terms the simple truths about health-care insurance in the United States. The book gives an accurate history of health insurance in the United States and how we got to where we are today—describes how health care has become our biggest industry and how the industry has used their lobbying money and power to influence our legislators. The book details the huge profits of the large insurance carriers and the extraordinary high salaries of their executives and how they affect health insurance premiums. The book also offers potential solutions and alternatives.
