November 13, 2024 • TCOM Book Club

This book took a deep dive into rising medical costs in the United States, including medical debt. Marty Makary, MD, MPH, one of the nation’s leading health care experts, traveled across America and detailed why health care has become so expensive. The Price We Pay painted a vivid picture of the business of medicine and its elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr. Makary challenged the medical establishment to remember medicine’s noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable.
