Starr received the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction for his book The Social Transformation of American Medicine. He was a senior adviser on the Clinton health plan, and he also wrote the book Remedy and Reaction: The Peculiar American Struggle over Healthcare Reform. Moderated by Ian Masters, journalist, author, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and radio host.
