    America’s Health Care Crisis and How to Fix It

      Marty Makary, M.D., sits down with HEC’s Paul Schankman to discuss his new book, The Price We Pay, What Broke American Health Care and How to Fix It. Dr. Makary’s breakthrough book documents price gouging by hospitals and sweetheart deals with insurance companies that result in poor treatment and sometimes patient bankruptcy. His research includes new ideas on how to fix the system, and ways patients can look out for themselves to lower the price they pay.
