In Japan, for example, they spend less than 3% or $59 on billing.  We need to reduce the bureaucracy and fix costs so that we can improve outcomes." "62% of bankruptcies in America are due to healthcare costs." "Medical bills are often wrong around 15% of the time." Episode Overview In this episode, I talk with Ed Eichhorn.
