“Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil.

Critical Condition, by the investigative team of Barlett and Steele, is a story about how health care in modern America has become a racket: A few profit handsomely while doing the rest of us significant harm. The United States, the authors write, took a fateful turn during the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s, when faith in the free markets ushered in policies that transformed not-for-profit hospitals, HMOs, and nursing homes into money-making operations.
