“Born Sick in the USA: Improving the Health of a Nation” by Stephen Bezruchka (2026) Stephen Bezruchka MD argues that poor health outcomes in the U.S. are due to political and economic policies, not individual failure, highlighting issues like inequality, lack of support for early life, and a focus on expensive healthcare over social determinants of health. Published in February 2026, the book uses cross-national comparisons to show Americans have worse health than people in other wealthy nations despite high spending and calls for policy changes to create a more equitable society to improve national well-being.
