author and kaiser health news editor in chief elisabeth rosenthal is with us to discuss her recent piece in "new york hard toagazine on understand medical bills are driving up the cost on health care. those indecipherable medical bills is one reason why health care costs so much. that is the crux of the first question. where does this -- where did this whole thing start? agot: it started 50 years when medicine started getting more commercialized. of course, you know, there is a logic to all of this. it is more efficient to get something in new medical code, but these bills spiral out of control. i always joke that i have a bill from a hip replacement in belgium, which is three pages long, and i can understand it even though it is in flemish. but i look at a bill in the u.s., it is so with codes and abbreviations. this serves the purposes of the insurers and the providers, but it makes it undecipherable for patients/consumers. that is a huge problem today. host: in telling the story in the magazine, you raised a personal story of a woman named wanda. tell us about her. andt: wanda was uni

in fact, says elisabeth rosenthal... >> when one manufacturer puts a price up to a new high level, everyone else just says, "oh, look! he got away with it." and lifts their prices up to that level too. >> reporter: a journalist and former practicing physician, she's now editor in chief of "kaiser health news," rosenthal has written a new book, "an american sickness," chronicling how and why american health care costs are by far the highest in the world. it boils down to one basic truth: >> prices will rise to whatever the market will bear. >> reporter: and while the health care market in the u.s. isn't exactly a free market, it's market-driven enough to push profits above all, and thus the prices we all wind up paying. and so, as a consequence, we spend 20% of our entire g.d.p. our entire economic output every year on health care. and it's been going up. >> we spend two or three times what other countries do on healthcare without getting better results, which is the key here. we're not getting a good deal for all the money we spend. >> reporter: we're not living longer? >> we're not living

i couldn't pay all these bills and they kept saying, well, you have to. >> reporter: author elisabethatient to the good guys and an atm machine to the bad guys. >> reporter: but she says medical professionals aren't the only ones to blame. >> patients don't speak up. don't assert their needs. patients have been complacent. >> reporter: what can patients start doing right away. >> every patient should know you have power. you have control. don't just write a check. >> reporter: before any treatment ask how much it will cost. if x-rays or blood tests are required demand your doctor use in-network facilities. ask for an itemized bill. if they're too high, negotiate. wanda's fight for contest exorbitant medical bills took more than two years but thanks to her persistence and health care advocates fighting alongside her she reached an undisclosed settlement with the providers. >> i just wanted to pay what was fair. >> reporter: when it comes to negotiating medical bills rosenthal says do your homework on what is a fair cost by using health care bluebook. when negotiating it is important to

and now, this hulu series starring elisabeth moss, who read the book as a teenager, playing offred, a handmaid just assigned to a new household. >> i love the idea that the heroine of the book is an anti-heroine. that she's a human. she's a wife, a mom, is a normal person and is sort of picked up, taken, and dropped into this scenario and has to figure out how to survive. she does a sort of thing that often prisoners will do, which is, they have to adapt to the prison environment and they have to hold their enemies closer than their friends. >> brown: the series is striking in how disturbing it is, both in the dark version of society it portrays, and at the same time, its beautiful look, a combination sought by series showrunner bruce miller and executive producer warren littlefield. >> you recognize this world, it's a beautiful world. they want it to be cleaner, they want it to be-- they want the food to be healthier. they're trying to raise fertility rates. those are all good things, that's very inviting. so, we come into our world and it feels pretty good, until you look closely. >
