Hello it is the pleasure to be here if you congratulations lawn in incredible readable and thorough review of problems with the Health Care System. I have a ton of questions based on my background as a physician or Health Policy analyst but first i would like u. S. Gay couple of questions so why did you write this book and why now. I worked a couple of years on the series for the year times and also to the Commonwealth Fund how the Health Care System had gotten so very expensive so we solicited patients stories and then i had a bank of patients stories for the most part that were injured but they cannot make the system work.

In the newspaper story pickoff one piece it you go one by one and did you realize you scratch the surface then i needed to know how the prices had gotten high a and look at those factors but i wanted to understand the evolution of that process because the position you trained in the 80s by new health care have not always been this way so how do

And on that front, he again said, were going to be opening up. We call it opening very, very soon, i hope. In the meantime and in the real world, another record day in some areas in terms of our death toll. This virus has now killed more than 16,000 americans. More than 462,000 have been infected.

Tonight nearly every state is under a major disaster declaration because of this virus. With that comes the continued relentless hemorrhaging of jobs in
