Where do people who need medical care go for help if they have no insurance or who are underinsured? This debut work by Dr. Ricardo Nuila is both fascinating and enraging at the same time. Many Americans are routinely turned away from the facilities and offices that they most need when they are sick or hurt. The same facilities that are created for the sick. Why? Because there is the catch that one must have the *correct* insurance in order to secure the treatment. Readers will read about Stephen, a dedicated, hard worker who signed up for his company’s lowest priced plan thinking that it was sufficient only to be diagnosed with cancer which virtually bankrupted him. The author skillfully and compassionately follows Stephen and four other people who are caught up in the whirlpool of healthcare at Ben Taub, a County hospital in Houston, Texas.
Author Nuila does a superb job of highlighting the greed that is infecting the medical care system and insurance companies while giving hope that there are those in the healthcare field that truly care. Perfect for book clubs.
