About The Episode:
On this episode, Marc discusses his 5-part series on healthcare reform as the 2026 midterms approach.
Key Takeaways:
If we could redesign American healthcare from the ground up, what would it actually look like?
The time has come for a grand bargain as employers, consumers, and government can no longer shoulder the huge healthcare costs burdens.
America has a fragmented healthcare system that is terribly inefficient and costly.
We have the most expensive system and get the least in quality outcomes.
Over these five weeks of the series, we will explore three pillars of reform:
–Price reform – it is about price and not necessarily utilization.
–Pivoting to care management to emphasize primary care and prevention.
— We need to fashion true affordable access.
Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill should come together as each side could gain something they want.
