Produktbeschreibung
Jonathan Campbell is dead. Jonathan was eight years old. He was a normal, healthy boy-until the night he died of spinal meningitis in the pediatric intensive care unit. Jonathan's death could have been prevented, if not for a string of events and choices that led to his untimely end. His doctor has blood on his hands . . . but he's not the only one. In the wake of Jonathan's death, a firestorm is brewing, and at its bloody heart is Northwest Health Care, arguably the most powerful HMO in the United States. For Northwest, everything has a cost-including every life. If the cost of that life gets too high, they'll end it. But not if attorney-at-law Joe Sharp gets there first. American Greed is a story about profits, hypocrisy, and the killers in white coats.
