The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town by Brian Alexander

In the book "The Hospital," author Brian Alexander pulls back the curtain of how the medical healthcare system REALLY works in the United States. Alexander embedded himself in Bryan, Ohio, a typical small town with a small healthcare system. He follows the lives of local residents who are ill and in desperate need of prescriptions & healthcare but are caught in a system that they can't navigate.
Readers will be shocked at how the system is seemingly against those who can't afford insurance; those working and those who are unemployed. A must read for those interested in how medicine works in the U.S.
