How do we take back our healthcare system? Doctor turned journalist Elisabeth Rosenthal is back to discuss solutions for fixing out of control healthcare costs.

She also outlines how we can control the cost of healthcare and improve quality of care. What are the most effective ways to navigate our broken system?
