Join economist Jon Haveman for a nonpartisan discussion on the state of US healthcare, exploring costs, access, quality, and potential models for reform.
Healthcare is the biggest industry and the largest employer in the U.S. What does that mean for us? In this talk, we discuss the current state of healthcare in the United States.
This includes an in-depth exploration of costs, access, and quality. Beyond this, explanations are offered for the dramatically increasing healthcare costs, from premiums to fees for service as well as a discussion of different healthcare models, or more accurately, health insurance provision. There are a variety of systems in place and we will discuss each and what role they play in the U.S. system of healthcare provision.
