A Landmark Exposé on Managed Care

Jamie Court and Francis Smith take on the corporate world of managed healthcare and explain, in plain language, what HMO Insurance means for your health — and who really profits from the managed-care system.

Through chilling real-life patient stories and hard data, Making a Killing documents how HMOs systematically deny and delay necessary treatment to minimize costs and maximize shareholder returns, often with catastrophic consequences for patients and their families.

A landmark work that exposed the dark side of “managed care” long before the debate reached its current urgency.
