My first stop in the series was at the Commonwealth Fund to learn more about health care and how it got so expensive. We solicited a lot of patient stories through social media and at the end of the series i had this bank of woe of patient stories, people who were smart for the most port New York Times readers who had not been able to make the system work. By there time you are finished, you realized you just scratched the service. I felt like i needed to know because it shows how prices had gotten as a physician to tried in the 80, i knew health care had not always been this way. I wanted to understand how did we get to this system which literally nobody seems to like right now. And by understanding that how can we get to a better place. We have seen so many efforts reform and everybody agrees to needs to be reformed but as see see on the hill today we are still arguing. As you mentioned, you are a physician i am a physician. We went to the same medical school. Harvard medical school.
