By John Geyman ’52

Published May 23, 2022

In his latest book, Geyman is blunt about the state of America’s medical system, which he argues has left us poorly prepared to respond — as has been the case throughout the coronavirus pandemic. He describes the current system of the medical-industrial complex which puts profits ahead of care for patients and explains why this approach will not work long term. America’s Mighty Medical-Industrial Complex (Copernicus Healthcare) also offers a handful of solutions for what a new normal could look like if we put people first.
