Healthcare is making people bankrupt. Doctors screw you. Hospitals scam you. They recommend surgeries you don't need. Or rob you based on what "network" you're in. Why? Because we're not informed. And Marty Makary is here to change that. "Every price on a hospital bill is negotiable," he said. Then he told me how. Here's why you can trust Marty. Because he's on the inside. He's a surgeon at John Hopkins, a health policy expert, professor and the author of "The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care--and How to Fix It" and "Unaccountable: What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care." Listen to this episode to hear how you can take charge of your personal healthcare. And how your friends and family can, too.
