Hypochondria is a beacon for change that unravels the commercialization of healthcare, dissects Big Pharma's role in America's pill-popping culture, and proposes alternative, disruptive solutions. Hal Rosenbluth, the maverick executive behind Take Care Health Systems, former president of Walgreens Health and Wellness, and now chairman and CEO of New Ocean Health Solutions, offers an unfiltered expose of his 227 medical claims in just two years-exposing the underbelly that illness anxiety may be costing the average sufferer and the health system as a whole. Hypochondria: What's Behind the Hidden Costs of Healthcare in America is a bold exploration and a call to action to address the broader impact that each stakeholder-health plans, providers, health systems and big pharma-have on the nation's overstressed healthcare system. The book also offers a well-rounded guide to the traditional and not so typical solutions that can help people manage illness anxiety. While the book is serious in nature, Rosenbluth and co-author Hall spin you through an amusement ride of anecdotes. From the evolution of Rosenbluth's global travel management firm to the onset of his Type 2 Diabetes-it's a tale woven with sleeping meds, nocturnal PB&J sandwiches, and anti-anxiety drugs. From founding a company with the youngest Johnson & Johnson president to his recent entry into digital healthcare, in Hypochondria Rosenbluth recounts an unfiltered, no-holds-barred saga that enlightens and entertains, opening a new dialogue about how the U.S. can get better at managing health and arresting the costs of care. Hall's contribution to this captivating narrative ensures readers will embark on an unforgettable journey grounded in meticulous research of a complex subject. Hypochondria is not just a memoir, but a call for greater discussion amongst patients, families, providers, employers, and health care executives.
