Geyman (emeritus, family medicine, U. of Washington) spent 13 years in rural practice before turning to academia. Over 30 years he watched control of the US health-care system shift from medical professionals and not-for-profit interests to a relatively small number of large health-care corporations, to the detriment, he believes, of the public interest. His analysis of the extent of the corporate transformation looks at its impacts on costs and on access to health care. He also considers options for reform given current political and economic realities. The intended audience is physicians and other health professionals, policy makers, legislators, business and labor groups, and citizen reform groups as well as consumers.

In the 21st century, corporations have worked their way into government and, as they become increasingly more powerful, arguments about their involvement with public health have become increasingly black and white. With corporations at the center of public health and environmental issues, everything chemical or technological is good, everything natural is bad; scientists who are funded by corporations are right and those who are independent are invariably wrong. There is diminishing common ground between the two opposed sides in these arguments. Corporate Ties that Bind is a collection of essays written by influential academic scholars, activists, and epidemiologists from around the world that scrutinize the corporate reasoning, false science and trickery involving those, like in-house epidemiologists, who mediate the scientific message of organizations who attack and censure independent voices. This book addresses how the growth of corporatism is destroying liberal democracy and personal choice. Whether addressing asbestos, radiation, PCBs, or vaccine regulation, the essays here address the dangers of trusting corporations and uncover the lengths to which corporations put profits before health.

A New York Times bestseller/Washington Post Notable Book of 2017/NPR Best Books of 2017/Wall Street Journal Best Books of 2017 "This book will serve as the definitive guide to the past and future of health care in America.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene At a moment of drastic political upheaval, An American Sickness is a shocking investigation into our dysfunctional healthcare system - and offers practical solutions to its myriad problems. In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast? Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.

Our healthcare system is broken. Despite spending far more on healthcare per capita than any other country, health outcomes in the U.S. are relatively poor. There is a pervasive disconnect within the healthcare system between private incentives to develop and provide healthcare products and services and public health needs. Proposals for how to fix the system have focused on changes to regulation, incentive schemes, consumer behavior, and competition in healthcare markets. These proposals share the presumption that the development and provision of healthcare products and services will remain primarily in the hands of traditional corporations and, to a lesser extent, non-profit organizations. Yet, as this article demonstrates, there is an inherent problem with relying on profit-focused corporations to drive healthcare innovation and provide healthcare services and products. Traditional corporations are structured (and, indeed, required) to focus on profits rather than tend to the public need. While this profit focus is not unusual nor considered undesirable in most markets, healthcare markets are different in ways that create a divergence between the private incentives to which corporations respond and public health needs. In this article we suggest that a change in corporate form can be used to more closely align private incentives with public need. We propose that companies involved in the provision of healthcare products and services should be incentivized or even required to assume alternative business forms that would both enable and require them to consider the needs of a broader range of stakeholders and the public interest in addition to shareholder value. We identify benefit corporations, broadly defined, as one preferred mechanism for achieving this. We show how this approach could change corporate behavior and improve on not-for-profit performance in ways that improve healthcare outcomes.
