Key Takeaways:
We are concluding the 5-part series on healthcare reform today, summing up the series and discussing the healthcare grand bargain that is needed again.
Healthcare reform is critically needed as the system is fragmented, costs continue to spiral, and the system is becoming unaffordable.
Incremental fixes have continually failed.
I have proposed three pillars of reform – price reform, a pivot to care management and primary care, and affordable universal access.
They all would work together and reinforce one another.
This is not socialized medicine or single payer. Private delivery and employer coverage would be preserved, with one social safety net plan for those falling through the cracks.
The proposal is apolitical, but politicians should like it. For the GOP, it makes us more competitive. For Democrats, it prioritizes access and coverage.
Trillions in savings could be used in various ways, including reinvesting some to retain on-demand and technology-driven healthcare.
