Listen Later

This time on Code WACK!

What led a CEO to produce a series of films to change America's healthcare system? What role do hospitals play in health care's astronomical pricing? And what options do we have to rein in costs and make hospital care affordable to everyone?

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, Healing a Broken System, 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 first episode in a two-part series about the film American Hospitals.
