Dr. Benjamin Sommers

This weekend on YOUR HEALTH® Adam & Cristy will be joined by Dr. Hugo Scornik, author and pediatrician & Dr. Benjamin Sommers, author and general internist, to discuss their pieces in the New England Journal of Medicine about health care & immigration reform.

Read More about what Dr. Evan Ashkin has to say about the current state of Health Care & Immigration Reform:

Dr. Evan Ashkin

Dr. Evan Ashkin


Reform of the US Healthcare system is happening and will continue to evolve. The question is how and who will determine the direction of the major changes. There is no debate over the fact that we are paying too much for too little in terms of health outcomes. Patients in the US get more healthcare but this does not result in better health outcomes. Better health outcomes are driven by getting the proper healthcare at the right time in the right place.   A robust system of high quality, universally accessible, primary care will drive down the costs of healthcare in the US and result in better outcomes for us all. This is not a hypothesis but has been demonstrated within the US and elsewhere. Reform of the US Healthcare system needs to be based on decisions that we know will improve the health of our communities and reduce overall cost, not driven by lobbyists from corporations, hospitals, device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and physician organizations who stand to gain or lose the most financially. – Evan Ashkin MD

Dan Ariely

Dr. Dan Ariely joins YOUR HEALTH to discuss his latest book, The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home.

Dr. Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, where he holds appointments at the Fuqua School of Business, the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, the School of Medicine, and the department of Economics.  He is also a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight.

Dr. Ariely’s previous book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions, was a New York Times Bestseller

Using simple experiments Dr. Ariely studies how people actually act in the marketplace, as opposed to how they should or would perform if they were completely rational. His interests span a wide range of daily behaviors such as buying (or not), saving (or not), ordering food in restaurants, pain management, procrastination, dishonesty, and decision making under different emotional states. His experiments are consistently interesting, amusing, and informative, demonstrating profound ideas that fly in the face of common wisdom.

Dr. Ariely earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Tel Aviv University, his master’s and doctorate degrees in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina, and a doctorate in Business Administration from Duke University.

His research has been published in leading psychology, economics, and marketing and management research journals, and has been featured occasionally in the popular press (The New York Times, the New Yorker Magazine, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, etc).  He is a regular contributor to Marketplace on National Public Radio.
