Martha Bebinger's Work
Sue Beder, who has had multiple sclerosis since she was 18, is one of America's most expensive patients. Journalist Martha Bebinger checks in to see how she's doing.
“I’ve had MS [multiple sclerosis] since I was 18 years old,” says Sue Beder, 65, as she begins to tell her story. “My husband passed away when he was 37, leaving me with two children. It was hard, but my parents were a big help. I’ve always had a lot of doctors.”
Mental health patients often don't get the physical health care they need. Journalist Martha Bebinger examines efforts to find these patients a new "medical home."
