Overcharged: Why Americans Pay Too Much For Health Care

Charles Silver and David A. Hyman Why is our health care system so expensive? Why are we charged $600 for $2 worth of medicine? Using real-life examples and patient experiences, Overcharged powerfully reveals how the American health care system, which replaces consumer choice with third-party payments and government controls, is designed to make health care as expensive as possible, and outrageous costs as opaque as possible. Overcharged details how vast the system can improve when consumers take charge and exert pressure from below. Pub Jul 2018
