Summary of The Price We Pay
<p>I picked up <a href="https://amzn.to/2rDlJpg" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Marty Makary’s book The Price We Pay</a> as I started looking into the price transparency problem in the USA. Family members, friends, and many colleagues complained about the surprise bills when they received care in America. I thought this was a big enough problem for me to apply some entrepreneurial chops to try and solve. The book gave me plenty of insights and ideas, and gave me a great place to start digging. For those that don’t have an idea of how problematic the space is, I would recommend it.</p>
<p><strong>Top takeaway</strong>: Price transparency and benchmarking are some of the best ways to lower healthcare costs in the US. I don’t necessarily agree but Marty makes some decent arguments. See below or skip to the bottom section called “So why is health care in the US so damn expensive?”</p>
