Money-Driven Medicine
Sneak preview on Bill Moyers Journal August 2009.
Produced by Alex Gibney, MONEY-DRIVEN MEDICINE takes a provocative and emotionally wrenching look at the American medical marketplace and explores why, when it comes to healthcare, money can’t buy you everything. Inspired by the book, “Money-Driven Medicine: The Real Reason Why Health
Care Costs So Much,” by Maggie Mahar, MONEY-DRIVEN MEDICINE explores a medical marketplace where economic rules are turned inside out and high prices will never be tamed by falling sales. Meanwhile, the perverse incentives of a fee-for-service system reward doctors who do more, not less, and patients' needs are considered last. A Jigsaw Production.
