American hospitals have made a habit of over-billing insurance companies in order to ensure they collect what they’re owed; with more than 46 million uninsured American, bankruptcies caused by overwhelming medical bills are inevitable. Former Senator Bill Bradley's new book "The New American Story" identifies the most pressing political issues of present day America.

Bradley also cites testimony before the Senate Finance Committee in March 2006, in which former Treasury Secretary Paul H. O’Neill said that health care organizations react to economic pressures in ways that place human concerns beneath financial goals. These financial goals continue to drive medical expenses debt.

Because of the problems associated with today's medical expenses, Bradley believes mandating health insurance for everyone will drive down medical expenses while ensuring reasonable profits for health care organizations and providers.

Bill Bradley served as a New Jersey Senator from 1978 to 1996 and ran for the Democratic presidential bid in 2000. He has authored extensive legislation including the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Bradley has also authored: "Time Present, Time Past," a New York Times bestseller about his life as a senator; "The Journey From Here;" New York Times bestseller "Values of the Game;" "The Fair Tax;" and "Life on the Run."
