A new book by Emily Maloney called “Cost of Living” explores the health care system from a unique point of view. The book’s author tried to kill herself when she was 19 and ended up in a psych ward. Later in life she worked as an emergency room tech and later in hospital billing, so she has seen the healthcare system from the inside and the outside. The book explores the financial side of the health care system but also the emotional side where hospital staff can sometimes be callous. It’s worth a read.
