Episode 029: Overcharged - Why American Health Care is So Expensive with Prof. David Hyman
- Political Control of Health Care Spending
- 3rd Party Payors
- Prices too high
- Quality is perceived by everyone delivering care as above average
- Opaque prices
We discussed these concepts in depth throughout the show and also delved into the solutions to save our system from consuming our entire GDP. Already, health care consumes so much money that budgetary problems are springing up from DC down to city hall. Fortunately, Overcharged describes the diagnoses and the cures.
