Robert Aronowitz on Risky Medicine

Should women get routine mammograms? Should men get regular PSA exams? Robert Aronowitz talks with host Russ Roberts about the increasing focus on risk reduction rather than health itself as a goal. He discusses the social and political forces that push us toward more preventive testing even when those tests have not been shown to be effective. Aronowitz's perspective is a provocative look at the opportunity cost of risk-reduction.
