We the Patients: Understanding, Navigating, and Surviving America's Healthcare Nightmare
"A blistering exposé... a fiery yet hopeful portrait of a broken system." ― Publisher's Weekly
"Whereas many people have put their finger on the problem with our healthcare system, Matthew Zachary puts his fist down the problem's throat." ― Greg Simon, Executive Director of the White House Cancer Moonshot under Vice President Biden
Take control of your healthcare ― and understand the rights that protect you.
In America, it's hard enough to stay healthy. It's doubly brutal when your care and your outcome hinge on one question: "What insurance do you have?"
Diagnosed with brain cancer at 21, and thirty years later known as what People magazine called "the people's voice in healthcare," Stupid Cancer founder Matthew Zachary learned how to work America's convoluted healthcare system: don't fix it, rig it in your favor. We the Patients is a proclamation for patient activism ― part survival manual, part call to arms ― showing you how to navigate a system built to confuse and exhaust the people it claims to serve.
It covers:
- Why American healthcare isn't broken ― it's designed this way, and understanding the design is the first step toward fighting back
- The awareness trap ― why disease awareness campaigns aren't enough, and what consumer protections and targeted activism can do instead
- Patients as consumers ― the surprising solution to sixty years of denials, delays, and damage
- Patients as an untapped civic bloc ― the case for turning 19 million cancer survivors, and the millions more who love and care for them, into organized political power
We the Patients is an unfiltered look at what happens when the healthcare system fails real people, and a blueprint for fighting back. Required reading for anyone navigating illness, caregiving, working in healthcare, or simply trying to stay human in a system that makes that harder every year.

Informazioni sul diritto di recesso
Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.
Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
