From the generic drug boom to untangling rising medical bills across the country, award-winning reporter Katherine Eban (Bottle of Lies) and surgeon and professor Marty Makary (The Price We Pay) demystify the opaque business of American health care. Fraud, false data, price-gouging and all of the executives who come between Americans and our health are on the table in this discussion of why medicine in this country has become a financial crisis with life-threatening effects.
