Podcast Title: An Arm and a Leg Episode Title: “Baby steps” in the fight against facility fees Number: 4 Description: A show about why health care costs so freaking much, and what we can (maybe) do about it. Hosted by award-winning reporter Dan Weissmann (Marketplace, 99 Percent Invisible, Planet Money, Reveal). See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for privacy and opt-out information. Episode Description: An $88 “observation room” fee for a check-up didn’t sit right with Kari Greene, a listener from Oregon. When the price went up to $99 the next year, Kari complained to her benefits rep; they thought it was weird, too — but couldn’t do anything about it. In states like Connecticut and Indiana, legislators are trying to do something about fees like these – often called “facility fees.” In this episode, we go deep on Kari’s bill, one of dozens that listeners have shared with us over the past few months. And we talk with Christine Monahan, a researcher and attorney who knows more about facility fees — and state efforts to limit them — than any other expert in the country.
