You've watched a loved one drown in insurance forms during their final days, survival hinging on denied claims and bureaucratic mazes. How to Die in the United States™ exposes America's healthcare lottery, where death becomes resistance against institutional indifference. It invites you to spot where paperwork now governs your own life's end.
