The Great American Healthcare Scam: How Kickbacks, Collusion and Propaganda Have Exploded Healthcare Costs in the United States

The purpose of this book is to effectively untangle and expose nearly all of the deceptions that occur in medical billing, prescription drug pricing and the health insurance industry in the U.S. Throughout the book I use actual medical bills and receipts along with data I’ve obtained from the financial disclosures of hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and government databases to back up each and every claim I make.I guarantee this book will make your head spin because, as bad as you think our healthcare system is, it’s actually far worse and this book will show exactly why and how that’s the case. Also, even though many people think they know what the health insurance companies are attempting to do, they’re probably wrong.David Belk got his medical degree from the University of Southern California School of Medicine and has a solo practice in Alameda California.
