520			_aIn Games Hospitals Play, veteran health journalist and public policy professional Abantika Ghosh exposes the shadowy economics of India’s private healthcare industry. This isn’t a story of a few rotten eggs – it is a systemic breakdown exposing how patient vulnerability is the fodder for the profit-driven healthcare industry. Mining through a mountain of court documents, backed by insider accounts and investigative reports, Ghosh decodes hidden markups, surge pricing for surgeries, unnecessary procedures, and corporate pressures that turn every illness into a profit opportunity. She reveals how hospital packages are designed like experiential commodities, why your insurance policy might not be enough and how over-testing has become a tool for revenue generation. A playbook to fight back, Games Hospitals Play is a call to action for every patient, caregiver, policymaker and healthcare professional who believes health ought not to be a commodity.
