Dr. Michael Fine’s latest book, On Medicine as Colonialism reframes the health care debate in the US. It is a strident meticulously researched expose that shows how corporate America uses Medicare and Medicaid to extract resources from communities, as it rethinks the process of colonialism in a globalized world. It has been called “a sobering diatribe on health care in America,” - driven by “outrage at what has been wrought,” – but also provides “a realistic perspective on achieving health equity.”
