This week, we present a special report correcting the distorted views of the National Public Radio series â âUnfit for Work: The Startling Rise of Disability in Americaâ â which painted a misleading and inaccurate picture of the Social Security disability programs that serve as a vital lifeline for millions of Americans with severe disabilities. And during this weekâs âNews You Can Use,â we report that hospital prices no longer are secret, as new data reveals a bewildering system and staggering cost differences.
