Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION Theodore Bexley Jr. usually had a driver, but on this particular day, in a fit of spontaneity, he decided to drive himself. He, of course, drove a Mercedes Benz. He worked hard and deserved to drive the very best. His suit was more expensive than his first vehicle, a 1976 Camaro. He was dressed for success. He was a captain of industry and he lived the part in every aspect of his life. He walked to his car with a confident stride. He reached for his “clicker” and pointed it towards the car. He didn’t feel the presence of the stranger who had stepped out of the bushes, until it was too late. He felt a cold steel object being pressed into his back and he heard the words, “If you want to live, you will obey my every command. If you don’t want to live, tell me now and I will kill you here in the parking lot. I do not care what happens to me at this point. I am happy to die with you if need be.” The masked gunman pushed the CEO of Henkins Commerce Insurance Company into the driver’s seat of his vehicle. The gunman got into the back of the car. “Sir, I assure you we can work this out. I’m not sure why you’re angry at me, but I have a lot of money. You want my credit cards? Cash? What do you want?” Theodore wheezed, starting to reach for his wallet. “Just please don’t kill me.” “Start the car,” the kidnapper barked. “You have held patients hostage for quite some time, now the tables are turned.”

About the Book
Americans are being held hostage by health insurance companies. Profit margins take precedent over patients’ well being as CEOs amass great wealth. Patients wait for approval of studies, medications, and procedures while the insurance companies accrue interest on the premiums. Robin Hood, M.D. takes the fight to the source of the problem. He kidnaps and tortures three CEOs of large health insurance companies, only sparing their lives if they agree to overturn a company ruling which has harmed a patient. In the end, the health insurance industry is put on trial.
