what can be done to repair our failing healthcare system and

what it will take to have a nation of healthy people, Positive

Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two

medical doctors who wrote books about their respective fields of

care. Dr. Deane Waldman is on a mission to cure the US

healthcare system. He describes how the system is ill and the key

takeaways from his book, Curing the Cancer in U. S. Healthcare:

StatesCare and Market-Based Medicine. Dr. David Weill details the

stories of the organ transplant process in his book, Exhale: Hope,

Healing, and a Life in Transplant. He shares information about the

donors, the recipients, and the vast network of people involved in

the logistics of organ transplantation.
