The Price We Pay
What Broke American Health Care--and How to Fix It
Book • 2019
In 'The Price We Pay,' Dr. Marty Makary provides a critical examination of the U.S.
health care system, detailing the inflated costs, predatory billing practices, and the financial burden on patients.
The book is based on on-the-ground stories, research, and personal experiences, showcasing how much of health care spending is unrelated to actual health care.
Makary argues for transparency and true free market competition to lower costs and profiles innovators who are disrupting the current system.
He also emphasizes the need for medical professionals to return to the altruistic mission of serving their communities and for consumers to be more informed about health care costs.
