CASH OR CARE What if insurance companies gave ill patients the choice to accept an upfront, no-strings-attached monetary payout instead of treatment? In this exciting medical thriller, the life of a talented psychiatrist Dr. Theodore Parker changes irrevocably the day he meets Mr. James Grady, an eccentric billionaire who was impressed by Dr. Parker's idea to radically change the healthcare sector with a program called Medi$hoice. Under this program, patients have a "choice" to opt-out of any medical treatment and instead receive the cash equivalent of 18% of the would-be medical costs. As the program begins to take hold, Dr. Theodore Parker begins to discover more about Grady and his motives. "...thought-provoking and promising premise... An attempt to fix the U.S. healthcare system goes very wrong in this new medical thriller." - Kirkus Reviews "This brief novel has a thought-provoking and promising premise, and it effectively develops it until it reaches a crescendo of deadly consequences." - Kirkus Reviews "[An] intriguing speculative tale..." - Kirkus Reviews
