About this item

Memorial Sloan Kettering radiologist, nationally recognized patient advocate, and Fox News contributor Nicole Saphier argues that we can't fix the American healthcare system until we fix ourselves.The American health care system is collapsing, and people are looking for someone to blame. The truth is, this isn't a government problem. It's our own fault. In this thought-provoking book, board certified medical doctor Nicole Saphier calls on all Americans to take responsibility for their individual health. Americans are notoriously unhealthy--we eat too much, drink too much, and sit too much. When roughly 80% of cardiovascular disease and 40% of all cancer cases could be prevented by simple lifestyle changes, it is time to take a deeper look at the problem and ask who truly is responsible.
