Is An American Sickness worth reading?

2 people we track recommend it. It is best for: state health policy analyst preparing a briefing for legislators about hospital pricing — because the book supplies concrete billing examples and explanations of corporate incentives you can cite.; health-care reporter investigating surprise bills or insurance denials — because the reporting offers case studies and a map of where money flows and why.; family member managing medical bills for an older relative — because clearer explanations of common billing practices and hidden charges help anticipate disputes and ask sharper questions.. It may not suit: you'll likely put it down when chapters shift into dense policy, regulatory history, or detailed economic explanations and similar case studies recur — that’s the point where momentum stalls for many readers.; annoying if you prefer light, personal storytelling: the book repeatedly returns to system-level analysis and corporate behavior rather than staying purely anecdotal.; not for those looking for hands-on tools or exercises — no workbook-style fixes; it emphasizes diagnosis and explanation over step-by-step solutions..
