Über den Autor

Über den Autor von Das US-Gesundheitssystem

Elisabeth Rosenthal, M.D., ist die gefeierte Autorin von An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back und eine führende Stimme in den Bereichen Gesundheitsökonomie und -politik. Als Ärztin, die zur Journalistin wurde, kombiniert Rosenthal ihre medizinische Expertise der Harvard Medical School und ihre Erfahrung in der Notaufnahme mit über zwei Jahrzehnten investigativer Berichterstattung bei der New York Times.

Ihre preisgekrönte Serie „Paying Till It Hurts“, die systemische Mängel in der US-amerikanischen Preisgestaltung im Gesundheitswesen aufdeckte, legte den Grundstein für die prägnante Kritik des Buches an gewinnorientierten Praktiken.

Als Chefredakteurin von Kaiser Health News und Gastautorin der New York Times analysiert Rosenthal weiterhin Ungerechtigkeiten im Gesundheitswesen. Als Marshall-Stipendiatin und Stanford-Absolventin ist ihre Arbeit geprägt von globaler Gesundheitsberichterstattung, einschließlich der Berichterstattung über Epidemien wie SARS und HIV/AIDS während ihrer Amtszeit in China.

An American Sickness, ein Bestseller der New York Times, ist zu einer Pflichtlektüre für das Verständnis von Gesundheitsreformen geworden und wird für seine Mischung aus fundierter Analyse und praktikablen Lösungen gelobt. Das Buch wurde in politischen Debatten und akademischen Kreisen vielfach zitiert und festigte Rosenthals Ruf als vertrauenswürdige Kritikerin der Exzesse der Medizinindustrie.
