Wayzata, MN – April 28, 2026 – As healthcare costs continue to rise and patient trust remains a concern, Dr. Bryan Laskin is taking an uncommon—and urgent—stance: a doctor advocating for patients not just in the exam room, but across the entire healthcare system. His new book, Unfair Care: Get the Healthcare You Deserve in a System Designed to Fail You, challenges the status quo and equips readers with the tools to take back control of their care.

Drawing on decades of experience as a practicing clinician, healthcare innovator, and patient advocate, Dr. Laskin argues that the healthcare system isn’t simply broken—it’s fundamentally “unfair,” designed to serve institutions rather than patients.

In Unfair Care, Laskin provides a clear, actionable roadmap for navigating a complex system that often leaves patients confused, overcharged, and underserved. The book’s central mission is to empower individuals to become active participants in their healthcare decisions rather than passive recipients.

“Healthcare isn’t broken — it’s rigged against wellness and patient care,” Laskin said, emphasizing his commitment to helping patients demand better outcomes and transparency.

A Doctor’s Voice Advocating for Patients

What makes Unfair Care unique is its perspective: unlike many critiques of the healthcare system, this book comes from a clinician on the inside—someone who understands both the clinical realities and systemic shortcomings.

Dr. Laskin has built his career around improving the patient experience and advancing innovation in healthcare delivery. His work emphasizes a “patient-first” approach, and he has spent years educating providers and organizations on how to redesign care around the needs of individuals, not institutions.

Timely Message Amid Rising Healthcare Costs

The book’s release comes as healthcare affordability reaches a critical tipping point in the United States:

• U.S. healthcare spending reached approximately $5.3 trillion in 2024, accounting for about 18% of the entire U.S. economy (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, National Health Expenditure Data, 2024)

• Healthcare costs are growing faster than the overall economy, with spending increases exceeding GDP growth in recent years (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, National Health Expenditure Trends; Kaiser Family Foundation, “How has U.S. spending on healthcare changed over time?”)

• Personal healthcare spending has surged at some of the fastest rates in decades, driven by increased demand and utilization (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Office of the Actuary, National Health Expenditure Projections; Health Affairs, U.S. Health Spending Reports)

• Affordability also remains a major issue, with millions of Americans forced to cut back or delay care due to cost pressures (Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll; Commonwealth Fund, “U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective”)

Against this backdrop, Unfair Care offers both a diagnosis of the system’s failures and a practical guide for patients seeking better outcomes.

National Speaker and Industry Leader

In addition to his work as an author and clinician, Dr. Laskin is a sought-after speaker who regularly presents at conferences and events across the country, addressing topics such as healthcare innovation, patient advocacy, and system reform. His insights are helping shape conversations around how care can be redesigned to better serve patients at every level.
