CRITICAL CONDITION: HOW HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA BECAME BIG BUSINESS AND BAD MEDICINE

“Bestselling investigative journalists Barlett and Steele (America: What Went Wrong?) deliver a devastating indictment, supported by excellent research, of a health-care system that they say is failing to provide first-rate services to its citizens. . .” --Publishers Weekly.

“. . .in Critical Condition, Barlett and Steele pan their unsparing searchlight across the whole landscape of corporate medicine: hospitals, HMOs, physicians and the ubiquitous pharmaceutical industry.” --San Diego Tribune.

“If only all journalists demonstrated the expertise of Barlett and Steele, the world would be a better place.” --Baltimore Sun.

“The U.S. health care system described in Critical Condition is somewhere between dead and a persistent vegetative state. . . Barlett and Steele, famous investigative journalists, are searing in their indictment of the system.“ -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “ Problems with health care in the United States seemingly are no longer news. . .But when Barlett-Steele write about those problems, almost nothing seems old. Part of their successful formula is relentless, long-term reporting that includes human sources and documents undiscovered by other journalists.” -- Houston Chronicle.
