Theres a lot of fighting amongst ourselves and that needs to go away. Cant argue with that. Welcome back to cbs this morning, im Tony Dokoupil here with gayle king and well begin with something youre all familiar with. Health care costs are rising. A recent gallupurvey Shows Americans barroworrowed 88 mil for medical expenses. One major problem, no one knows what anything cost. We kick off a new series called medical price roulette. Well explore the reasons behind confusing medical bills. This is a collaboration with Clear Health Costs, a Journalism Company foek focused on transparency. Our consumer correspondent anna warner is here. 88 billion people borrowed to cover medical costs. What did you learn . If you ask anybody about medical bills, youll probably hear their nightmare story. A bill that came as a surprise or a bill they didnt understand. The problem is costs vary and pricing isnt transparent. And one long island, new york, man found out just how much that could cost him. Im an averageworking person, im not a millionaire. I go to work every day like everybody else. Reporter Frank Esposito is a tool and die maker who for the last year has been fighting for his financial life. A fight he says began last march with unrelenting back pain. Its the kind of back pain that wouldnt go away no matter what you do. Reporter hes an active person but says back then he could barely move. An mri soon showed a bulge in his spine, a herniated disk. When he went to see a specialist he said, you need to go to the closest hospital immediately. Reporter immediately . Immediately. Reporter he says doctors at the emergency room told him he needed surgery. Herniation was so severe that it could have severed my nerve in half. Ind li. Reporter the next day they prepared a fusion, which he says successfully relieved his pain, but the next month, the bills started coming. Your statement says, please pay 220,850. Correct. Reporter and that was just one bill. In total his bills added up to over 650,000. Money his Insurance Company said he would have to pay. They claimed his back surgery was not an emergency and not medically necessary. It was my choice, just be paralyzed for the rest of my life . Then to get these bills that were so overwhelming, you say, this cant be real. I mean, i really dont have to pay this. How am i going to pay this . You sit there and you start crying because you dont know what youre going to do. Reporter hes not the only one. Four in ten consumers polled in 2018 said they received a surprise medical bill in the past year. Half of those were over 500. Another study found over a fiveyear period consumers outofpocket medical costs went up more than 50 , even if they had Health Insurance from their job. Nothing about the United StatesHealth Care System really makes sense. Reporter Aaron Carroll is a pediatrician and Health Insurance researcher who says theres no transparency in health care pricing. This is somebody thats in pain and youre told, you might be paralyzed unless you run to the hospital. How are they supposed to become good shoppers and make complex, rational decisions. Theyre going to say, please tell me what to do because thats your job. Reporter even if its not an emergency, we found there can be surprising swings in what a given procedure or test can cost. Our partner Clear Health Costs surveyed cash prices, prices used here as a benchmark for comparison in two major metro areas. Dallas and San Francisco. For a simple blood test, prices ranged from 10 to 176 in the dallas area. In the San Francisco bay area, from 15 up to 126. The cost for an ultrasound of the abdomen in dallas ranged from 115 to an estimate of 2,459. From 100 in the bay area to 2,800. And where the price is set can affect your cost, whether insured or not. I think people have an assumption for right or wrong that insurance is going to protect them. If we pay that much, we think were going to be covered and were not going to see that surprise bill. So when you do, people are shocked. Reporter if im hearing you correctly, youre basically saying that people should not expect their insurance to protect them. Isnt that why we have . Theres protect and protect. Plans will have different deductibles, different amount of coinsurance, copayments. And it depends what theyre charging, what the price is and how much youre responsible for that price. Reporter frank finally chose to hire and pay extra for a company to negotiate those bills for him. But he still owes over 220,000 and doesnt know how hell pay. You work all your life, you work to buy a house, you work to have a house. You have to save up for everything. We would like to be able to know that when you go to the doctor that we can get healthy, that we can get taken care of without losing everything we have. Reporter after his appeals, his insurer, Oxford United health care did pay some of his doctors bills. Were still waiting for a response as to the remaining 220,000 bill. Hes already taken 49,000 out of his 401 k . I feel for him. Hes a perfect example of how screwed up the Health Insurance business is. The prices you gave, it seemed to be so arbitrary, 15 to 126. Ive gotten this, when your insurance comes back from a procedure and they bill you for 2,500, insurance says well pay you 800. You look at this and go, whats the actual price . Does anybody really know . And was i when they negotiated this . Thats the answer. Nobody does know. While youre on it, they put so many damn numbers on the bill you cant even read the bill. Its really hard. Everyones spinning this roulette bill. When they get a bill they cant pay, how do they fight it . You should try to fight. Doctors have thai peel.

The wall street journal says during that july 25th phone call mr. Trump asked the ukrainians president about eight times to investigate joe biden and his son hunter.

Ticket scalpers picked them up, theyre blamed for taking advantage of the situation. The band says that we turned off ticket transferability to ensure that our fans got in the door at low ticket prices we set for them. But people who came with tickets they bought apparently ticketmaster can do something where they can detect on your phone if tickets had been transferred. People who spent ten times, hundreds of dollars for tickets, were turned away. They were angry. A heck of a scene. Another battle in the ticket wars going on about, you know, about prices and things.

Well, it turns out now that hes also covering the loans that the parents took out whoa the total cost to smith is about 34 million. Hes worth about 6 billion, according to the bloomberg billionaires index. I just think that is sensational. Fantastic. Yeah. The way he did it was so sensational. I love that hes doing it. But it highlights the fact that the cost of college in this out country. It shouldnt it shouldnt take wealthy people having to solve this problem. People should be able to get an education, an affordable one. The 1. 5 trillion in Additional Debt that he cant touch, and no one can until the country comes together and says heres a plan to fix it.

Shes revealing her selection. What did you pick . Its called the water dancer. By tanahase coates. The world has been waiting for this novel, and tanashase didnt need me to choose the novel to give it attention, but it is one of the best books ive ever read in my entire life. Whoa. Thats a good reason for picking it up. Whoa. Right up there in the top five. Here is the background. It tells the story of a young man born into bondage bio w the 2015 book award. It pushed the discussion about slaves into the stage. This is the first time theyve met. Is that right . Congratulations to you. Thank you. Youre meeting for the first time. What was your reaction when you heard the news for the first time that you were going to be this pick . Well, if im honest about it, i had some headsup. Like i got this text that said theres a call coming at 10 00 a. M. This morning, you have to p who told you that . Call. It was my editor actually. Really . The panicked text. The phone call it was tremendous. A tremendous, tremendous honor. Youre going into the company. People like Toni Morrison, whitehead yes. This was like a huge, huge, you know, honor for me. Why did it affect you so, oprah . I remember our book editor at the magazine said, you know, that oprah had just called and she was crying on the telephone. I hadnt read the book yet. She was crying on the telephone. What was it about the book . Ive always been a student of our history, of africanamerican history. And, you know, i grew up reciting aint i a woman before i knew what i was saying. I recognized ive been carried by the anscestors and his book allows us to see that but also to experience and feel what that carriage has been like. I was so moved by theres something on if you get the hardcover edition, on page 110 where he actually describes what slavery is. He says, slavery is every day longing. Is being born into a world of forbidden rituals and tantalizing untouchables. The land around you, the clothes you hem, the biscuits you bake, you bury the longing because you know where it must lead. This is your not bad at all. Right. Right . Hes good. This is your first novel. This is your first novel. Yes. I mean, its not youve done a lot of writing before. But a novels a different kind of thing. Completely. I know you spent ten years researching this . Researching and writing. Its deceptive because i actually started writing this before i started writing my second book, between the world and me, before i wrote case for reparations. I started this before. While this comes out publicly later than some of the work that i became prominent for, i have been working on this for a long time. Its been in your heart for a long time. And on the page. Terrible versions that the public should never see. You told vanity fair you sent a version to michael shademan. And he sent it back and said what . This is not fiction. Bro. Bro. Thats sort of this is not fiction, bro. What did you think . I sent it to him to get the note. To be honest with you, that was no different than the process i go through for nonfiction. I had a similar interaction with my editor, chris jackson. That that was not thats writing. If youre really in there and youre blessed with friends and colleagues who are going to be honest with you. Thats just the sort of thing theyre supposed to say. You wanted to capture what i thought you did so well, to capture the emotion of slavery and the intelligence of the slaves. Thats something we never heard about, read about. In the course of my research, i think in the common mind people think of, you know, insulate people as these cottonpicking machines. I dont think we realized the extent to which their label was things we upon. T e weve got big ideas, but this is a pleasure to read. Its got plot. You also wrote black panther . Comic book. Not the movie. Absolutely. You bring you mix fiction with reallife characters like Harriet Tubman was a character. How did you decide to do that . Im from baltimore, baltimores in maryland. My familys from the Eastern Shore of maryland. So she was always obviousy it was a mythical figure nationally. But specifically for us, the stories were like superhero stories. Did you think it was a difficult read . I will say this that it felt like Toni Morrison to me, i mean that in all the best ways. Yeah. I will say that the first paragraph is also one full sentence. And i had to read that first sentence paragraph three times before i figured out what was actually happening. The whole first chapter is like a dream sequence. Yes. T and then it is a thumping, plotdriven youre in. All the way in, people, by page 10. Youre all the way in by page 10. Oprah and tanahase are not leaving. Well continue our conversation next.

The first in her partnership with apple. A big deal. The novel tells the story of a boy, as mentioned, into bondage on a plantation. The power that he discovers.

I am most excited for people all over the world to start reading this and go to oprahsbookclub and have discussion about it. When you start reading it, youre going to want to talk to somebody.

I want to know because i dont want to keep reading. She goes, im afraid to turn the page. Whats going to happen . You know im not telling you. She said, im not telling you. My mom stopped reading at that point. I had to put it down and take a walk. Thats the end of part one. It could have gone one two of ways. Lets talk about your mom. You told me this really started as not a love letter but it was like a love story. My mom is a very, very diverse reader. You know, she mom, im sorry, i hope im not embarrassing you.
