After a stroke hospitalized author Jeremy White’s mom, her only child and his wife were conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw Laura’s life away with the aid of unregulated artificial intelligence, and for completely contradictory reasons. More than five trying, life-changing months after her stroke, and the subsequent seizures that took away use of her right side, a federal judge officially ruled Laura the winner of that war. It’s a war that frighteningly few Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting when companies like Humana deny patients the doctor-recommended care they critically need.
If you have ever faced healthcare challenges or cared for a loved one, you will find this memoir with timely commentary on the current US corporate, governmental, and healthcare landscape both inspiring and empowering.

InHumana: An American Healthcare Story examines what happens when humanity’s most altruistic endeavor is forced to operate within the most Darwinistic of modern economic models. InHumana dissects the undead, human-made entities dominating the landscape of our contradiction-filled economic jungle. With pathos and humor, this timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood.
An unflinching reminder that real people pay the price when healthcare becomes a business. A must-read for anyone who believes in the power of reform and the dignity of care.
That Librarian author Amanda Jones, 2021 School Library Journal Librarian of the Year
A Pulitzer-nominated series, as well as multiple class-action lawsuits, have exposed insurers like Humana and UnitedHealthcare for aggressively using unregulated artificial intelligence in denying patients critically needed care.
• 3.4 million (7.4% of) prior authorization requests were denied by Medicare Advantage plans in 2022.
• Fewer than 10% of denials are appealed.
• 90% of appeals are successful.
• 33 million-plus Americans are enrolled in Medicare Advantage (more than half of all Medicare beneficiaries), with nearly half of them as members of plans offered by either Humana or UnitedHealthcare.
InHumana is a brilliantly crafted jeremiad for the modern age, one that all who fancy themselves political or medical leaders should read and take to heart.

Despite failing to save taxpayers a dime in more than two decades of existence, the exploding half-trillion-dollar Medicare Advantage industry stands to totally replace traditional Medicare under President Donald Trump, thanks to Project 2025 and its goal of completely privatizing the sixty-year-old federal program.
InHumana is a rare survivor’s story that offers a human face for typically faceless insurance denials.
