hear their nightmare story. a bill that came as a surprise or a bill they didn't understand. the problem is costs vary and pricing isn't transparent. and one long island, new york, man found out just how much that could cost him. >> i'm an average-working person, i'm 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. >> it's the kind of back pain that wouldn't go away no matter what you do. >> reporter: he's 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 can't be real. i mean, i really don't have to pay this. how am i going to pay this? you sit there and you start crying because you don't know what you're going to do. >> reporter: he's 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

five-year period consumers out-of-pocket medical costs went up more than 50%, even if they had health insurance from their job. >> nothing about the united states' health care system really makes sense. >> reporter: aaron carroll is a pediatrician and health insurance researcher who says there's no transparency in health care pricing. >> this is somebody that's in pain and you're told, you might be paralyzed unless you run to the hospital. how are they supposed to become good shoppers and make complex, rational decisions. they're going to say, please tell me what to do because that's your job. >> reporter: even if it's 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,

the actual price? does anybody really know? >> and was i when they negotiated this? >> that's the answer. nobody does know. >> while you're on it, they put so many damn numbers on the bill you can't even read the bill. >> it's really hard. >> everyone's spinning this roulette bill. when they get a bill they can't pay, how do they fight it? >> you should try to fight. doctors have thai peel. we have posted tips and resources on our web page and we also want to hear from you. we want to know what you're paying for medical procedures around the country. so, go to cbsnews.com/healthcosts. see the button there, share and search your prices. share what you paid and you can see the prices we surveyed in the two markets and see what the numbers are we found. >> please, do this. >> is mr. esposito physically okay? >> yeah, the fusion worked for him. >> it's weighing on his mind, clearly. >> you do wonder what obligation they have to people like him to say when they're going into surgery, by the way, this is basically s t it'soing to

time. >> it's 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. >> that's 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 -- that's writing. if you're really in there and you're blessed with friends and colleagues who are going to be honest with you. that's just the sort of thing they're 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. that's 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 cotton-picking machines. i don't think we realized the

extent to which their label was things we upon.t e >> we've got big ideas, but this is a pleasure to read. it's got plot. you also wrote "black panther"? >> comic book. not the movie. >> absolutely. you bring -- you mix fiction with real-life characters like harriet tubman was a character. how did you decide to do that? >> i'm from baltimore, baltimore's in maryland. my family's 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, plot-driven -- >> you're in. all the way in, people, by page 10. you're all the way in by page 10. >> oprah and tanahase are not leaving. we'll continue our conversation next. here are the thoughts on the 2020 presidential race. okay. >> really? >> for more on oprah's new book, club selection -- oprah's going to talk about the 2020 race? go to our websi

we are back, oprah and ta-nehisi coates, he said i hate long introductions. just say here's the book that he wrote, "the water dancer", oprah's newest selection. 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 think the apple partnership is interesting because i think you'll have more readers. >> that was my goal was to partner with apple and have a wide bandwidth so we can create a community of readers around the world. 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, you're going to want to talk to somebody. like gayle -- gayle called the other day, and she was like -- i won't say what page. she's like, what is going to happen? what's going to happen with georgie? tell me. i want to know because i don't want to keep reading. she goes, i'm afraid to turn the page. what's going to happen? you know i'm not telling you. >> she said, "i'm not telling you." >> my mom stopped reading at that point. >> i had to put it down and take a walk. that's the end of part one. >> it could have gone one two of ways. let's 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, i'm sorry, i hope i'm not embarrassing you. she loves romance novels. >> why is that embarrassing? >> i don't know. people make assumptions. i don't think it's embarrassing. i write comic books so i don't think it's embarrassing.

e los roe ls when i was young, like 19, 20, you know, i said, one day i'm going to write you a romance. when i gave her the advanced version, i said, "here it is." she said, "this isn't a romance, boy." it becomes one. it becomes one. >> it's a love story. >> eventually she was like, yeah, it is. early on, it's not clear. >> didn't you see it as a love story? >> yes. i saw it -- first of all, i was enthralled, i was devastated. i felt hope, i felt gratitude. i felt joy -- >> yes. >> it's the range of emotions. that's why i think it has everything that a novel is supposed to. i'm on my second read now because the first read i was just reading as -- to see if i was going to choose it. and then the second read i actually am sort of spoonfeeding every word to myself. you are a magnificent writer. >> thank you. >> you know what, when i -- the other day i was reading and thinking, gosh, i wish toni was alive to actually -- >> read the book. >> to read this book. she would be so proud.

>> who's going to pivot to the reluctant political commentator? you want to take it, anthony? >> well, all right. here we go. i'll take it. i was hoping someone would jump in and it wouldn't be me. all right -- >> oprah's like, i'm holding my book. >> there was talk about you running in 2020. you're not running in 2020. >> she said that many times. >> do you regret not running? >> oh -- my -- when i'm watching the debates, i was actually also asked to be -- to moderate one of the debates. and i didn't each want to do th gayle was like, you should. when i'm watching the debates, i'm so happy i'm not in any of it. >> did you -- did you seriously consider -- >> no, i didn't. i never seriously considered it. no. it's the kind of thing i think you feel in your -- your gut, your soul, your being -- >> a disturbance from one of the mics. >> you know t is theng you're supposed to do in your life. >> care to explain the sound? >> oprah said that jesus would have to call her in order to do

that. i said, jesus called me, what should i say? you also have a very interesting take. you said if you were running, you would only focus on what you would do for the country. >> yeah. >> as opposed to all the negativity. >> i think a lot of the anrtnlthis happened in the previous election. you know, there's -- there's a law, natural law that says what you give your attention to expand. so you should not talk he other guy because you only empower your opponents when you talk about them. you should talk about what you are going to do, and as little as possible not discuss what the other guy's doing. >> any thoughts? >> sorry, i didn't come fully prepared for -- >> we've got to go. we'll get cut off here. >> thank you, oprah and ta-nehisi coates. the name of the book is "the water dancer." it goes on sale tomorrow. >> we'll be right back. tomorrow!
