In the United States, healthcare is a trillion-dollar industry. And it's only getting bigger. But as healthcare costs continue to rise, more and more people are struggling to afford the care they need.

How did we get here? And what can we do to change it?

In his new book, "How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back," investigative journalist David Sirota exposes the greed and corruption that have driven up healthcare costs and put profits ahead of patients.

Sirota argues that the healthcare industry has become a powerful cartel that uses its political influence to protect its profits and stifle competition. He shows how hospitals, insurance companies, and drug companies have all played a role in driving up costs.

But Sirota also offers a path to reform. He proposes a series of bold reforms that would break up the healthcare cartel and make it more affordable for everyone.

These reforms include:

• Creating a public option for health insurance
• Reforming drug pricing
• Allowing people to buy into Medicare
• Expanding Medicaid
• Investing in primary care

Sirota argues that these reforms would make healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone. He also argues that they would improve the quality of healthcare by reducing the role of profit-driven corporations.

"How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back" is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of healthcare in the United States. Sirota's book is a scathing indictment of the healthcare industry, but it also offers a path to reform. If we want to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone, we need to take back our healthcare system from the big businesses that have captured it.
