And what can we do to change things? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in a timely and deeply personal book.

Brittany George spent seventeen years inside the American healthcare system — helping employers, families, and employees navigate coverage, benefits, and access to care. She believed in it. She trusted it. And then she had a baby.

What if the problem isn’t you—but the system you’re living in?

This is not a motivational book. It’s an explanation.

American Health—Who Gets Paid examines the pricing system that quietly governs US medicine—and explains why what gets paid for gets done. Rather than focusing on politics, personalities, or technology, the book looks at the underlying economics of medical work: how care is valued, who sets those values, and how payment rules shape clinical behavior, institutional priorities, and innovation.

This audiobook examines how power operates once policy leaves speeches and enters the real world, where speed replaces caution, oversight weakens, and consequences often arrive long before accountability does. Rather than arguing ideology or partisanship, it tracks outcomes. It follows decisions through executive authority, agency enforcement, budgets, courts, markets, and foreign policy to reveal the widening gap between intention and impact.

It's a guide for leaders who refuse to accept slow progress, mounting complexity, and unrealized innovation as the status quo.
