Sick Over Healthcare

New voices are calling for a new debate on health care. In his new book Sick: The Untold Story of America’s Healthcare Crisis, author Jonathan Cohn tells the stories of the Americans who are paying the price of that crisis. "Insurance is supposed to be about reducing risk," Cohn says, "but we're creating a system where we're enhancing the risk." On The Sound of Ideas, we'll talk to Cohn and we'll get a little perspective from the local corporate community, as well. What you hear may surprise you.
