Mark Gaunya and Jennifer Borislow continue their discussion from last episode about why health care is so expensive and share their ideas to slow rising prices. With the release of the second edition of their book Bend the Healthcare Trend, Mark and Jennifer are advocating for consumer-driven health care as the solution to rising expenses.

In analyzing the health care system, inflation greatly outpaces the general economy. Our guests explain why the industry’s prices rise so much faster than those of other industries, largely due to a lack of transparency or tangible competition.

Opportunity will grow from greater industry transparency and responsibility, as consumers will save money and maintain better health. We need to look beyond physical health and appreciate mental, spiritual, and financial health as well.
