This time on Code WACK!

 

Are hospitals and health insurers incentivized to keep costs high? Are mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare sector helping - or hurting? How has the state of Maryland kept hospital costs in check – and how might other states do the same?

To find out, we spoke with Richard Master, CEO of MCS Industries,  founder of Business Leaders for Health Care Transformation and executive director of American Hospitals, the latest film in his documentary series.  He’s joined by Wendell Potter, a former health insurance industry communications executive, the New York Times best-selling author of Deadly Spin and president of Business Leaders for Health Care Transformation.

This is the second episode in a two-part series about the film American Hospitals.
