"A shocking though understated expose of the nation's major health charities, documenting self-serving monopolistic practices and excessive cash reserves, executive salaries, and expense accounts, coupled with minimal support for research, treatment, and patient services. The authors also show how some charities grossly exaggerate successes of profitable treatments while persecuting advocates of nonpatented alternative therapies, and also howthey ignore opportunities for prevention by reducing avoidable exposures to environmental and occupational hazards. This book should stimulate a shift in public support to more accountable community charities."
