So, these models that I'm talking about are based on fee for service, then, they are being paid for a care coordination fee. MARTIN: Yes? OSBORNE: I am great. And some people even that are getting stents don't have symptoms. I just had been ignoring it, because I thought, you know, I'm only 34 years old. DR. TIERAONA LOW DOG, FELLOWSHIP DIRECTOR, ARIZONA CENTER FOR INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE: We want to expose clinicians to a broader way of seeing the patient a deeper understanding of healing and a larger toolbox from which to choose for therapies. It includes the mandate, the requirement that we all have to buy their coverage. WEIL: Right. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How's your pain, sir? GUPTA: Doctor Tuckson, I mean, one of the concerns -- and again, we will get right to it, it's simply not reimbursing enough money for primary care doctors. Don't need you, don't need you. So now, "ESCAPE FIRE: THE FIGHT TO RESCUE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE." So, I went into the hospital and they told me I had had a heart attack. We can't prevent disease in everybody, but we have to try. And they have to, these for-profit companies by law have to serve shareholders. It argues that American medical treatment is largely focused on getting people into hospitals and giving them drugs, two profit centers that are hugely expensive and supported by massive lobbying campaigns. I started having really, really bad chest pain. Got approved very quickly. ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system? Trying to get Medicare to cover a heart disease program has been by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. When I had my first heart attack, did the cardiac catheterization, put the thing up there and put a stent in my heart, because I had a clogged artery. And maybe it would be easier to take care of people and keep them from getting sick before they actually did get sick. He had -- he had Percocet then he has Marco which is Percocet.

U.S. caregivers are told you've got to keep me pain free, you're going to do that. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I love you, too! The Dartmouth study showed the patients in places like Miami were receiving more care. And finally, keep in mind that what is charged and what is ultimately paid are two different numbers. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you have any pain right now? GUPTA: Doctor Rice, What do you think about that. So putting more money into innovations and all of these things, yes, they're need in certain instances, especially emergency care, and things like that.

If you get a bump on your head as a friend of mine had, and you go into the emergency department, in America, you get a cat scan. ROSS: What do you think about that? It caused their blockages to become less blocked in their arteries. How are you feeling? That also happened in the 1990s. It's all about the reimbursement.

STEVEN NISSEN, CHAIRMAN, CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, CLEVELAND CLINIC: The problem is, if you have stable chest pain, we have very good studies dating back a number of years that show that getting a stint will not prevent a heart attack, and will not make you live longer. Can adding Avandia help you? LT. GEN. DAVID FRIDOVICH, THREE STAR COMMANDER, U.S. SPECIAL FORCES: I can see why there's a link between opiates, dependency, misuse, and suicide.

For me to spend 45 minutes on an established visit with a patient to make sure they are doing their exercise, make sure their diabetes is going okay, and to try to figure out what their true problem is, probably get paid $15.
