Reviews
"End Medical Debt is one of the best books I've read that explains how our healthcare system became a voracious monster, and the steps we can take, individually and collectively, to keep it from devouring us."
Wendell Potter, Center for Health and Democracy
"The Covid recovery edition of End Medical Debt breaks down critical issues in a way that's easy to understand. "
Marlene Wust-Smith MD, Physician Outlook Magazine
"End Medical Debt is special because it advocates for systemic change while providing tactical solutions for Americans now facing the devastating burden of medical debt.
Rohan Pavluri, Upsolve
"End Medical Debt does more than describe the unsustainable structure of our current healthcare system. The book demonstrates what was always the solution: People helping people, voluntarily and without coercion."
Ernest Hancock, FreedomsPhoenix
"End Medical Debt is exactly what's needed to jumpstart the national discussion about our dysfunctional healthcare system, and what to do about it."
Joel R. Segal, Former senior assistant, U.S. Congress. Co-author of the "Medicare For All" bill.
