The book explores the intertwining of medicine and politics in contemporary America, highlighting how behaviors once viewed through moral lenses are now categorized as health issues. It critiques the shift from legal accountability to medical discretion, suggesting that this transformation fosters a system termed "pharmacracy" by social critic Thomas Szasz. The author delves into the implications of this trend, questioning the societal impact of redefining human problems as medical conditions and the consequences of treating judicial matters as health treatments.
