Code Blue

"Code Blue" by Mike Magee, MD, offers an insightful examination of the U.S. healthcare system, revealing how its complex structure—including pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, hospitals, and medical organizations—has prioritized profit over patient care. Drawing from his experience inside the industry, Magee explores the interconnected forces shaping American health, highlighting what he terms the "original sin" of the system. The book provides a compelling behind-the-scenes look at an industry that consumes a significant portion of national resources and aims to uncover the reasons behind its costly and often inefficient outcomes.
