Summary:
In today's medical landscape, insurance companies call the shots. Profits--not patients--are their priority, and the policies they create reflect this motivation. Doctors must choose: comply with the rules, and risk neglecting their patients' well-being? or provide the quality treatment patients deserve ... and risk losing their jobs as a result. That's where trial lawyer and physician's advocate Theresa Barta steps in. Greed on Trial brilliantly illustrates the dangers of abusive insurance policies by following three cases based upon her experiences. Once Barta opens your eyes to the truth about Big Insurance, you will never look at health care the same way again.--Book jacket.
