Monument To Failure

Even more than documentary filmmaker Mike Moore's movie SiCKO, this book confronts the entire American healthcare industry. It exposes the individuals, corporations, and government agencies directly responsible for the horrendously inadequate healthcare conditions in America, ones that cause 500,000 people to die every year (including 18,000 people who perish because they are uninsured). The American public has grown accustomed to a way of life that involves drugs, surgeries, obesity, lack of exercise, mental and emotional unhealthiness, declining healthcare standards (the U.S. ranks 37th among industrialized nations), a meek tolerance for a corrupt political system, and a paralyzing indifference to the fact that we are destroying our planet. Above all, this book is meant to inspire vast change. But we must first completely redefine the healthcare system. And it will culminate with the 2008 National Healthcare March on Washington, D.C. and the National Healthcare Observation Day. Will you be there?
