Medical Racket Paperback – November 1, 1998

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

Nationally-known social critic Martin L. Gross skewers the medical prfession with the same sharp pen he used on the federal government in the bestselling The Government Racket, and A Call for Revolution, as well as The Political Racket. Using numerous medical studies, government reports, and his own research, Gross exposes fraud and mistakes by doctors, hospitals and HMOs, costing the public billions of dollars, medical harm, and often loss of life. In addition to his shocking expose, he offers comprehensive solutions to the present chaos of medical care.

    Any critic of HMOs needs to read this book. You will not find a better defender of your cause than Martin Gross, who also happens to be the most provocative political writer in America today. However, his remedy for the health care industry - a sort of political-community medical hybrid- only covers the last few pages of the book. This soultion, covered in little detail, should cover at least one third of the book. But because it doesn't, I feel cheated of a real solution to Mr. Gross's gripes. The real conclusion that I drew is that the solution to health care lies not with HMO destruction but with HMO reform.

    GROSS'S "NO BARS HOLD" APPROACH TO EXPOSING THE CORRUPT HMOs and DISTRACTED PHYSICIANS HAS HAS INFLUENCED ME TO QUESTION MY NEURO-SURGEON'S RECOMMENDATION TO FUSE MY SPINE. INSTEAD, I SEARCHED THE JOHN HOPKIN'S WHITE PAGES, AS MR. GROSS HAD DONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER, AND FOUND A PHYSICIAN THAT PERFORMS AN ENABLING VS. DISABLING SURGERY.
    THANKS MR. GROSS FOR WRITING THIS BOOK.
