The New York City-based small business owner received over a million dollars in treatment and was left with thousands of dollars in medical bills, despite having health insurance. To help Olivia and others struggling with debt from medical care, host Stefanie O'Connell Rodriguez sits down with Marshall Allen, an investigative journalist at ProPublica and author of the new book Never Pay the First Bill: And Other Ways to Fight the Health Care System and Win, to discuss how to best navigate America's costly and complex healthcare system.
