One of America's top doctors rips the Band-Aid off to expose the American health care system

Legislation written by drug and insurance companies, malpractice by corrupt and incompetent doctors, misguided and dishonest medical policy—the reality may be worse than you feared, and Medical Politics exposes all the secrets of a dirty American health care industry.

Written by Stephen Soloway, one of America's top rheumatologists and a former appointee to Donald Trump's President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, this exposé provides an inside look at how medical decisions are lobbied and money influences policy at the highest levels. It explains how recent and upcoming medical policies will affect common Americans and gives recommendations for a better American medical system.

Featuring the author's personal letters to dirty insurance companies and other figures in the industry, Medical Politics takes readers inside Dr. Soloway's fight against Big Pharma and Big Insurance in search of better care for his patients. The result is a shocking indictment of the American medical system from an insider—and charts a path for Americans to better advocate for themselves.
