Health Justice Now

Single Payer and What Comes Next

By: Timothy Faust

Narrated by: Brian Holden

Single payer is the tool - health justice is the goal!

Single payer healthcare is not complicated: The government pays for all care for all people. It's cheaper than our current model, and most Americans (and their doctors) already want it. So what's the deal with our current healthcare system, and why don't we have something better?

In Health Justice Now, Timothy Faust explains what single payer is, why we don't yet have it, and how it can be won. He identifies the actors that have misled us for profit and political gain, dispels the myth that healthcare needs to be personally expensive, shows how we can smoothly transition to a new model, and reveals the slate of humane and progressive reforms that we can only achieve with single payer as the springboard.

In this impassioned playbook, Faust inspires us to believe in a world where we could leave our job without losing healthcare for ourselves and our kids; where affordable housing is healthcare; and where social justice links arm-in-arm with health justice for us all.

A MUST READ

Easy to understand, throughly researched well written. Everyone should read/listen to this book. Amazing bravo Faust.

Great Read

As an ER nurse, I have always felt compelled towards universal coverage. Timothy Faust gave the best arguments for single-payer system I have ever heard. The author broke down complex issues into digestible pieces that anyone can understand and empathize with. The author cleared the muddied politicization of healthcare for all, provided through a government by the people, FOR the people.

Sick Care

Regardless of political ideology, our healthcare system clearly has a lot of shortcomings. This book provides a pretty good overview of the current spider web of beaucracies that are our healthcare system. Definitely worth a listen.

A fantastic book

I have a friend of a friend who was the subject of a chapter in this book, so I thought I’d give it a try. “Health Justice Now” was totally worth it. It’s incredibly well-researched and well-written; I feel better equipped to talk about the state of the American healthcare system. More importantly, I’m inspired to fight for the changes that we so obviously need. Everyone should listen to or read this book.

Read in the voice of smart passion

This book is read just right: emphatically, empirically, empathically. Nothing too over the top, with outrage where outrage is written.

It codifies political passions and movement goo into solid ideas, theories, history, and sometimes even code people like me need to latch onto.

It’s really good, and motivating.
