The New York Times broke a story Monday about Kansas Republican U.S. Senator Roger Marshall suing seven hundred of his patients for debts. 81 of them were arrested over what they owed. Marshall is an obstetrician-gynecologist. He is running for his second term in the U.S. Senate this fall, against Democrat Adam Hamilton. New York Times health reporter Sarah Kliff reported the story. She joined Up To Date’s Steve Kraske to talk about Marshall.
