Organizations have invested $30–40 billion in AI. According to MIT (2025), 95% produced no measurable return. Only 5% made it into daily workflows. If you're reading this, you're trying not to become that statistic—or you already are. The problem isn't bad technology. Most AI failures don't begin at scale. They begin during pilots, when early success builds confidence without revealing risks that surface once AI enters real workflows and decisions under pressure.

Dr. Rosenlicht explains the disastrous outcomes of the for-profit mental health care model. Patients are “clients” and doctors are “providers,” stripping away the humanity and emboldening shifty ethical and legal practices. Perhaps most insidious, the business model paints the mentally ill as people who don’t want help, rather than someone who can’t afford care or even realize they need help because of their illness. Mental illness will touch all of us in some way, if not directly through those we know and love.

In The Long Fix, physician and health-care CEO Vivian S. Lee, MD, cuts to the heart of the health-care crisis. The problem with the way medicine is practiced, she explains, is not so much who's paying, it's what we are paying for. Insurers, employers, the government, and individuals pay for every procedure, prescription, and lab test, whether or not it makes us better - and that is both backward and dangerous.

Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a professor of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania who also served as a special adviser to the White House on health-care reform, has written a brilliant diagnostic explanation of why health care in America has become such a divisive social issue, how money and medicine have their own American story, and why reform has bedeviled presidents of the left and right for more than one hundred years.

On May 3, 2006, Ted Giovanis emailed a US government official, seeking clarity on an arcane issue: the calculation used by Medicare to determine reimbursement rates for certain kinds of hospitals. Though he expected a routine exchange, what unfolded was anything but.

In Curable journalist and health care advocate Travis Christofferson looks at medicine through a magnifying glass and asks an important question: What if the roots of the current US health care crisis are psychological and systemic, perpetuated not just by corporate influence and the powers that be, but by you and me?

It turns out we have more control over our health (and happiness) than we think.

In The Ten Year War, veteran journalist Jonathan Cohn offers the compelling story of the defining political battle of our time, one that will shape political conversations for decades.

The Ten Year War offers a deeper examination of how our governing institutions, the media and the two parties have evolved, and the dysfunction those changes have left in their wake.
