Episode 4: Never Stress Over Medical Bills Again: Class is In Session with Marshall Allen (Part 2)

Tune in for part 2 of the conversation with investigative healthcare journalist Marshall Allen. While Marshall has been writing thought-provoking articles for ProPublica for a while, he's now about to release his first book--"Never Pay the First Bill: and more ways to fight the healthcare system and win". This book is also being turned into an ongoing curriculum for employees to help them learn more about the crazy healthcare system we're forced to navigate. Every employer in America ought to be signing up their workforce for this virtual classroom experience. Listen as Marshall and I talk about some of his most popular articles of the past and how that led him to write his new book.

Marshall Allen

Journalist, ProPublica

Marshall Allen investigates why we pay so much for health care in the United States and get so little in return. He is one of the creators of ProPublica’s Surgeon Scorecard, which published the complication rates for about 17,000 surgeons who perform eight common elective procedures. Allen’s work has been honored with several journalism awards, including the Harvard Kennedy School’s 2011 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting and coming in as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting for work at the Las Vegas Sun, where he worked before coming to ProPublica in 2011. Before he was in journalism, Allen spent five years in full-time ministry, including three years in Nairobi, Kenya. He has a master’s degree in Theology.
