Hazards Of Healthcare

We've all heard the horror stories of people who died or suffered needlessly because of some test they put off or some treatment that was too expensive, thanks to problems with the American healthcare system. In his book "Sick: The Untold Story of America's Healthcare Crisis--and the People who Pay the Price," Jonathan Cohn, senior editor at The New Republic, chronicles and documents the history and hazards of American Healthcare. He combines the real-life stories of ordinary people with reporting from Washington, and talks about the political underpinnings of the only developed country with no guaranteed access of medical care. Larry speaks with Cohn about his book and some possible solutions for the American healthcare crisis.
