The proof of our book is in and people have already started to latch onto the free downloadable PDF version at My Healthcare Is Killing Me.
Seems like we might have struck a bit of a nerve.
Thanks so much to Bob Coffield for the shout out on the book. Can’t wait to catch up with him at Health 2.0 in just a few weeks. Bob is a master of Twitter. If you don’t know him, he’s @bobcoffield.
We’ll probably catch a lot of hell from Steven Krein at OrganizedWisdom for not calling it change:healthcare, but we’re working on that as another title and hope to have it out before November .
And many thanks to the others like Frank Hone and “Why Healthcare Matters” and Zane Safrit who have started to pick up on the book.

Another inmoral human profiting off human misery! Selling a book on the subject disguised as helpful. When is the Documentary? EG Sicko. Writing a book is doing NOTHING but an info mercial promising something beneficial to the buyer but once you open the cover your exposed to multiple stories on Organized fraud by the health care system with American Governments blessings told over and over again with different words and nothing on what is being done about it but lies about the help that is out there to reform it . There will be no reform until we are Truly free in this country to choose our own health care provider and health medicine. Consumer protections are non existant anyway. We have no protections from malpractice so we should be free to practice our own medicine and take care of ourselves!
We offer the book as a free download online, because do not think that anyone should have to pay for health care information.
We know that the book isn’t perfect, but it is one of the many small steps we are taking to try to chip away at the massive and ugly block we call “the healthcare system.” Working to support people as they try to navigate the healthcare is a difficult task, and sometimes it seems the systems is SOOO TERRIBLE that its just going to be impossible to even have a small impact. Then I hear stories from people who found help through our site, or who learned more from reading the book, and I remember that every small thing we can do to support one another will only make us more empowered as patients, and more capable of standing up for the changes we want to see in the system.
Keep shouting out and letting people know that the system needs to change!
