Steven Brill, Author of “Bitter Pill: Why Health Care Costs Are Killing Us”

This week, Mark and Margaret speak with entrepreneur and investigative journalist Steven Brill, author of the recent TIME Magazine expose on health care pricing, “Bitter Pill: Why Health Care Costs Are Killing Us”. Mr Brill, founder of the Yale Journalism Initiative as well as Court TV, explores the root causes of inflated health care prices Americans are forced to bear, how the Affordable Care Act will play a role, and what might be done to bring those costs down.
