What this book is about
A Robin Cook medical thriller (1993) in which two married doctors join a utopian HMO in Vermont that promises the best of medicine without the financial pressures. But as patients begin dying of seemingly preventable causes, the couple realizes the system is as corrupt as the one they fled. A prescient critique of managed care's potential for fatal cost-cutting.
