A conversation with doctor turned journalist, Elisabeth Rosenthal about her new book, An American Sickness, How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back.
Rosenthal dissects our medical system to explain how “impossibly high insurance premiums and large bills have become facts of life.” From hidden doctor fees to soaring drug prices, Americans pay 2-3 times more for healthcare than other developed countries. How did we get here? What are solutions?
