Author Talk

Join Dr. Michael Fine for a reading of his book On Medicine as Colonialism on Tuesday, October 17 at 6 PM.

On Medicine as Colonialism is a reframing of the health care debate in the US. It is a strident meticulously researched expose that shows how corporate America uses Medicare and Medicaid to extract resources from communities, as it rethinks the process of colonialism in a globalized world. It has been called “a sobering diatribe on health care in America”, driven by “outrage at what has been wrought” – but also provides “a realistic perspective on achieving health equity.” Registration is required.
