So far so good,

and ten million americans who didn't have health insurance before have signed up but congressional republicans are gunning for obama care, even if they can. outright repeal it they want overhaul and with the debate just getting underway author steve brill, who has spent the past two years. Immersing himself in the subject has come. with a new book america's bitter pill that takes it comprehensive, look at what the new law does and doesn't do Brill argues that obama care is the product of what he calls an orgy of lobbying and backroom deals in which just about everyone, with a stake the three trillion dollar a year. Health industry came out ahead, except the taxpayers. Good news More people are gonna, get healthcare, bad news, no way in the world that we're going to the pay for it

Brill says that the outrage is what the afford will care agnes doesn't do, doesn't do anything cool malpractice reform. It doesn't do anything to control drug prices. It doesn't do anything to control hospital profits. Cells is all the costs controlling site this just want by the wayside, Ninety nine percent of it brill that when it came to controlling cause, the white house was told a front after cos, You never gonna get anything past because the law his work. I'm just not allow it to be passed. So, let's go through what each entity, one the drug companies they were gonna get two hundred billion dollars worth of new customers able to pay for drugs. They will void the calamity of the real reforms that they are worried about. Pricing Rolls generally can do and I being able to buy drug some. Can that would, of course, them hundreds of billions.

Hospital lobby did agree to cuts and how much the federal government compensates them from medicare patients brill says overall, the trade off in new paying patients would more than make up for that answer. hospitals, manage to keep other costs, controls completely off the table, allowing to charge whatever they can get for hostile stays- can greatly mark up drug and test prices, In writing. His book brill one to find out how hospitals, jack up those prices he found. answer in the retching family of lancaster ohio. Always there Experience both before and after obama. Care kicked in shows all the things brill says the law should have dealt with like highly inflated hospital charges, but didn't when you get healthy and that's what I told em they're story begins in two thousand twelve, when Sean richie. Then forty two father of two was done.

Agnes with cancer stage, for non hodgkin's lymphoma too, in children. You know I want to see him get married. I want to see my grandchildren, you know, do early stephen, was determined to get him to empty anderson and Houston, one of the premier nonprofit cancer centres in the country, but because, health insurance policy was so limited. They had to pay up front first, forty, eight thousand nine hundred dollars for the evaluation, then more for the actual treatment, told me that we would have to give them another thirty five thousand dollars to get a premium, Did you have the money Didn't my mother, does your mother had to give you the money? I guess I just kept thinking in the back of my mind, there is a mistake: we'll work it out. I just have to get in there and I have to better. That was, let me concern when Sean was sick. They felt vulnerable and scared. Like most people

that kind of crisis. They never will ask what any specific item or test cost when they got the bill they gave. It Stephen brill, who found charges, he couldn't believe first thing I saw their bill was generic tylenol, for dollar. Fifty. Now, that's not on pill, one pillar, you can buy a hundred in our tiles. For the same two, fifty so that's a thousand percent mark, but who There's a sister dollar fifty registered bring down the bill, they some, like fifteen thousand dollars worth of blood tests, that in america within a few hundred dollars for the charge add up over the single spaced eighteen pages of the bill. dependent hospital. Economists say these are all greatly inflated over their actual cause, like a pet scan Five thousand four hundred fifty three dollars a fortune, percent mark up three

see tee scans for nine thousand six hundred eighty five dollars an eleven hundred percent mark up the charge his room was thousand seven hundred forty six dollars for six days that comes to seventeen hundred ninety one dollars a day. You and I to get into this business. It's a call and non profit, but it's a good business the single largest charge was for his cancer drug were toxin. for one dose, the hospital build him. Thirteen thousand seven hundred two dollars the hospital paid. Three thousand five hundred dollars to that truck. I have how many times that's a four hundred percent markup. This is a non profit, but what does nonprofit mean? It means that and pay taxes. That's the first thing: they don't pay any taxes. They ve created in healthcare an alternate universe economy with everybody, except the doctors and nurses.

It's a ton of money and nobody Holding them accountable and obama does zero to change anything empty anderson declined to appear on camera, but sent us a letter defending the prices it charges, patients saying the costs reflect in part, use and maintaining expensive state of the art, medical equipment and research. To develop new and better treatments brill, says: hospitals, get some federal aid for new technology and says in general, large nonprofit hospitals are thriving businesses, he suggested we go to pittsburgh. Once a steel city today, pittsburgh biggest business, is a hospital complex. The universe city of pittsburgh, medical center, see you jeffrey Roma showed us the view from his office. Here we are in this. You are still building steel defined pittsburgh and now you

the hospitals define pittsburgh in the sense that you imply more people. We avoid sixty two thousand. We are not only the largest employer in western pennsylvania, where the largest employer in all of pennsylvania. It's a toy a billion dollars a year global health conglomerate. By one estimate the nation top grossing nonprofit hospital. What's your salary, my shower seven, six million dollars of the arguments against these nonprofits are so big and make all this money is so much of its going to executive pay, but six million dollars, and you have seven executives here who make more than two million, and you have another. Twenty three, who make more than a so. Let's add it all up? What do you have a hundred million dollars on twelve billion? I can't off the top of my head, calculate what percentage? That is what it is likely to less than one percent, but it's a non

often hospital and exorbitant exec pay. Well, that your judgment of it, I think my board determines what the appropriate, position is for me and for all the other executives does run a top ranked medical research centre with a reputation for excellence, and he says he's been trying to rein in hospital cause and he thinks he's up with a solution. We our own insurance company, you have your own insurance company, yes as part of the company. Yes, he says the beauty of it is. There is no incentive for his hospital to overcharge his insurance company? In other words, there's nothing to gain and inflating a patient's bill. We all of us family. It's the same kitty, premiums now are among the lowest in the country, His insurance companies policies can be used at his hospitals as well as selected rival, hospitals in the state he thinks

The idea of hospitals with their own insurance companies could be a model for the nation and the best way to reduce inflated cos. Loggers, ok, but you met that you are part of the problem, not a we were part of the problem is one of the most successful part of the problem, so you we met the new participated in this that just willy nilly jack prices way up, as I did, I say anything about willy nilly, I'm saying I'm saying well, I know I'm not saying willy nilly. What do you have to say about the hospitals who are still doing that? It is untenable and unsustainable to be fair, but also do save lives. As brill says they do god's work. In sean wretches case the anderson's treatment plan. The chemo worked, I am one hundred percent cancer clean and feel great, even oh he's, eighty four thousand dollars in the whole. Today, spite sean's pre existing condition. The wretches have

Good health insurance, because two thousand and thirteen they signed up for obamacare so they have total coverage. One huh percent subsidized by taxpayers, Obamacare has passed empty anderson goes, if someone reduction are, they still charging thirteen thousand seven hundred and they probably are. If you don't have insurance, if you do I have insurance through obamacare or otherwise, prices would, in most cases be negotiated down. What about the room? she's. Eighty four thousand dollar bill at empty anderson and Houston. It would most clearly not be negotiated down, because they signed up for medicaid under obama care in ohio, which is not recognized in texas, In their letter, empty anderson, wrote thanks to the official will care act? Experiences like the wretches should become less common. However, the price I'm still exists

Even while some prices are being negotiated down, not prices are brill says that overall costs are still going up, because there are now millions more people getting covered and treated in a present. obama says over and over that cossack down or implies that coming down because of the I will correct the who knows sunday, maybe it'll be true healthcare costs. Have slowed down, though brill's it's not because of obamacare and besides there still rising at a rate, double the pace of inflation, the moon, touted savings in present keeps talking about. It still increases so. Instead of going like that, it's going, you don't do this step, if there's a piece of data that comes out that says that the galloping increase in the cost of some aspects of health care? Has

started galloping a little less its touted as the cost is going down minutes. It's just ridiculous brill says he has come to appreciate the good that the affordable care act is done in it's a safety net for so many people like the wretches, but he wants the public too now that what was to be at its heart drive down the cost of health care was neglected and its taxpayers who are left holding the bag about I care: is a government take over of healthcare? That's what the that's! What the republicans back here is the instead of a government take over of healthcare obama care. Is the taxpayers intervening to the private sector for their already inflated prices that they charge for healthcare, is any way now to go back. Add costs containment, possible. Then it's more impossible. Now, when this becomes a fiscal crisis that made me

They have never wait for me as a crisis of Pierre. That's the way we do a lot of governance in this country. We wait for something to be a crisis when something becomes a crisis that enough of us care about, then the law This matter a lot less because We care a lot more sick the minutes coming up after this short break trust,

People in the world who have this skill or the will to attempt to climb one of the world seven summits. The tallest mountain on each continent night you'll meet young men who ve done it with no legs, thereby he's and their lives were shut. in the war in afghanistan and iraq, but on the big mountains they find a way to we came what they lost on the battle. Field going beyond the limits of their injuries to achieve what seems impossible at their side, is a former health angels, biker name tim advance. Never served in the military, but on his journey to the top of MT everest

He says he found a way to help catastrophically wounded war veterans we join tim and a young marine as they climbed up the tallest peak in australia and so for ourselves how a mountain can someone's life

it was below freezing at sixty five hundred feet above sea. The private first class isaac blunt had hit the deep snow on mount kosciusko. The most brutal part of his climb was just beginning and without knees, every stiff awkward step he took was a bafta for his trainer mentor and self appointed drill. Sergeant TIM, med vet was pushing him every step of the way to go. Paul just fall straight back on me and by that afternoon a severe storm had enveloped them in blinding snow and wind isaac was only halfway to the summit and he could barely move. I need everything you got otherwise worked on the journey to this mountain started two months earlier in the hills outside san diego we met

sick as he was starting to train with TIM, who was preparing him for life dailies in his new timing prosthetic legs he'll see about the sort of trying to time a mountain Those can be a challenge and I would have to plague I'd have to get out of my chair. Have start doing thing that I've been wanting to do. Would you describe the last two years? For? U hell? I, It was twenty years old when he was sent into the centre of the fight against the taliban in afghanistan, as small boy from wisconsin. He grew up in military family and all he s wanted was to be a marine on patrolling helmand problem in two thousand eleven just three since his deployment isaac step. And I d blew away most of his lower body. They told me that I had lost, both my legs

They told me tat unless I was able to move my fingers there, my arm, because aid really must show my eye bicep and my form two weeks later, the dock. Whose had to remove his eye after it already lost your legs and yellow your arm. Was that hard? I think, hard is poor, was finding out that my testicles were gone the likely avatar she's here american isaac battle depressed, For the next two years and had all but given up his recovery. When he learned about tim vets and his work with The veterans had survived catastrophic injuries. Why? to choose isaac aloud guys. You get used to wheelchair, because it's easy, you know putting legs on not easy, is painful its work.

and that's her isaac is now that's right. It is now- and that's where I commend you- go to chose the lowest of the seven summits for eyes it because of this very tee of his injuries, but he also chose winter. The toughest time of year. we have really taken comes from the challenge. He says not from making it easy. I have to give him a mountain. That's like a mount everest all those injuries he has, and I'm going to take but the hardest rout. After all those things in their ears possibility might not make the first thing. Isaac you counted at the base of the mountain. Was this and underbrush covered in snow that tangled and twisted around his artificial life, there was no trail and with

it's prosthetics digging into his stumps. He painfully fought his way up. The mountain with each snip isaac moved only a few inches and after seven hours of climbing on that first day, he'd barely made it a mile in a very good and blazing a trail. As darkness fell tim at his side. What about right now getting a camp. I want to focus on like there is there's a few points said I swear to god. I thought my bone growth through my skin. I just wanted to tell him like dude. I can't do this I am then way too much pain. I can't do this. In point. It becomes more mental than physical, and that's the poor where it comes down

To this end, this timid vets would never tell you he knows what it's like to be wounded on the battlefield, but what helps him relate to injured veterans like isaac is his own experience of struggling to overcome life threatening injuries from a motorcycle crash thirteen years ago, from my is nick cage, rounded than bolted. With six bolts, there's been fused. I have too many. Plates in my head and ten screws have two metal plates and ten screws. On my right hand, two year has ain't area by K. I tough guy.

Tim picked up crack hours book into thin air about a hiking, anxiety on MT everest in which eight people died?

He says climbing everest struck him as the ultimate way to prove to his doctors and himself that he was still capable of doing something that difficult with no mountain climbing experience and a body patched again with metal he set his sights on conquering the world's highest peak. This was going to be my rehabilitation. Yeah stance of like for a guy like me to walk into these these. These rights place. These people doing is all in all squeezing the ball thing I walked out and marion didn't physical therapy. For me, that was just that. Wasn't enough. That was like guy has a dime.
