I recently started following Ms. Katz and I am so glad you guys did this piece. I am looking forward to hearing more of Ms. Katz’ work since she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to saving money in healthcare! Kudos to ABC for finding her and please get that girl her own show so she can do this more!

I hope you will have more reports featuring Ms. Katz to tap her knowledge about reining in health care costs. It is frustrating that her expertise has to be funneled through your reporter. Please let her speak.

Three separate types of testosterone related products advertised in the same 1/2 hour of ABC News?? There is already a glut of testosterone-related news in the NEWS… do we REALLY need to hear so many testerone-related commercials DURING the Evening News? I am sure that limiting the amount and type of advertising done by pharmaceuticals would help lower the cost of drugs.

Sounds great, however my insurance – United Health Care -requires ALL maintenance presciptions be purchased through CVS pharmacy. So much for saving money!

Ms. Katz is amazing, I only wish that CBS would have allowed her to speak more during this segment. She’s been a strong advocate for patients in this way for years.

Need to do more of this with Michelle. This is the kind of news that people really can use.

I’ve learned so much about saving $. This segment is very beneficial. I am so glad you had Michelle Katz on since I recently read one of her books about saving money with hospital and doctor bills. I hope we hear of her.

A better segment would be for ABC to talk about fraud in the medical industry as this segment has clearly exposed (couple was overpaying by 98%!!!!) . next time send your consultant to DC to lobby the “wonderful” representatives and president to really take action on this pressing issue that is getting out of control.

This report was horrible, not even Jesus Christ could take a bill from 17K to a measly $411. There was lots of details missing and it was very shallow. I agree that there are ways to save, but ABC please be a little more realistic next time, and why is a consultant needed for this? It is common sense savings that someone with just a HS education can figure out.

ABC is lucky to have an expert like Michelle Katz; I have seen her speak and read her book. She is passionate about helping others save money when it comes to health care. Her passion resonates when she speaks and shares with others. I only wish I could have heard what SHE had to say during the report. Additionally, Michelle would have succinctly articulated details that the reporter missed. Next time, let Michelle talk! Your viewers will connect. I hope we can see more of Michelle in the future. We all need an advocate like her!
