Part One: Marshall Allen of ProPublica joins us to talk about his recent piece, “You Snooze, You Lose: Insurers Make The Old Adage Literally True.” Marshall dug deep into CPAP machines (used by people diagnosed with sleep apnea): how they spy on users, and share the information with insurance companies, how much they cost with and without insurance, the cost of supplies, and how (once again) patients are being bilked by insurance companies.
Marshall Allen investigates why we pay so much for health care and get so little in return, for ProPublica.
Part Two: Water from air? We speak with California inventor David Hertz who (with his wife) won a $1.5 million X Prize. He found that you really can make water out of thin air – a discovery that has the very real potential to help people and animals in many places.
