“As CEO of Whole Foods, which spent more than $250 million on health care for our team members last year, I thought I knew how inefficient health care was. Overcharged opened my eyes to how truly dysfunctional America’s health care system has become. This is not capitalism.”
John Mackey
Founder and CEO of Whole Foods
“The biggest threat to America’s prosperity, and even its solvency, is the mismatch between the amazingly and increasingly competent science of medicine and the amazingly and increasingly incompetent pricing and allocation of it. Now come Silver and Hyman to frighten us with the facts, and to point to ways the biggest player in the health care game – the government – can stop making matters worse.”
George F. Will
Pulitzer Prize‐winning columnist and author
“Overcharged is a detailed, useful, timely diagnosis of what ails America’s health care system from a free‐market perspective. Anyone interested in how to bring health coverage to more Americans — whether agreeing or disagreeing with the author’s view of what ails American health care —will gain greatly from their penetrating analyses of ever facet of the system.”
Michael Hiltzik
Pulitzer Prize‐winning business columnist, Los Angeles Times
“Overcharged is just what the doctor ordered. We will be better off if it is widely read and discussed.”
Jeffrey S. Flier, M.D.
Former dean, Harvard Medical School
“Overcharged is a fast‐paced trip through the underbelly of the health care industry, the policies that shape it, and their often undesirable and overly costly results. Silver and Hyman make a powerful case for freeing the system from its government‐created shackles.”
