In the Documentary

In the Documentary, Money Driven Medicine, Ms. Mahar takes you behind the scene of a two trillion-dollar industry to witness how billions of dollars are wasted. While interviewing doctors, hospital administrators, patients, health care economists, corporate executives’ analysts describes a war of “all against all” that turn physicians, hospitals, insurers, drug makers and device makers against each other. Maggie explains that we spend twice as much as Japan in health care, yet few would argue that our health care system is twice as good. Instead, new evidence suggests that one out of every three of our health care dollars is squandered on unnecessary or redundant test; unwanted procedures and overpriced drugs and devices that are no better than the less expensive products they have replaced (“Money-Driven Medicine”).
