E-grāmata: How to Make a Killing: Death, Dollars and the Business of Blood

[ A] grimly fascinating and humane exposé...How to Make a Killing is about a small part of the US health economy, but it functions as an eye-openingly baleful illustration of where the embedded incentives of such a system, if not sternly regulated, would inevitably lead in any country. * Telegraph * A rich and sweeping saga that is, sadly, a quintessentially American story: How a miracle medical machine transformed into profit machine, sick and suffering patients be damned. -- Jesse Eisinger [ A] beautifully written and fascinating account of both the miraculous possibilities of medical technology and the perils of poorly structured markets. -- Matt Stoller A terrifying story of profit before patients, and a chilling glimpse of what can happen when private companies are allowed to take charge of healthcare. -- Gavin Francis Tom Mueller goes deep, then wide, then straight for the jugular of the corporate predators who are getting rich by exploiting the poor and vulnerable. Anybody who can read How to Make a Killing without getting outraged must be unconscious. This book raised my blood pressure by at least thirty points -- Carl Elliott Inspiring and deeply distressing.....Illustrates how modern medicine could devise technologies to literally revive people dying of kidney failure and how such miracles became perverted * Ezekiel J.
