Cook County Hospital, now known as John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, is the largest public hospital in the United States. It is also one of the most underfunded and understaffed. In Life, Death, and Politics at Chicago Public Hospital, journalist Sarah Varney takes us inside this troubled institution, where life, death, and politics collide.

Varney follows the stories of several patients and staff members at Stroger Hospital, including a young woman who is dying of cancer, a nurse who is struggling to make ends meet, and a doctor who is fighting to improve the quality of care for his patients. She also delves into the hospital's troubled history, which is marked by corruption, mismanagement, and neglect.

Life, Death, and Politics at Chicago Public Hospital is a powerful and moving account of the human toll of poverty and inequality in America. It is also a call to action for those who believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare.
