Dr. John Abramson teaches Health Care Policy (and used to teach Primary Care Medicine) at Harvard Medical School. I've asked him to join the show to discuss his great recent speech which is now published as an article for Hillsdale College's Imprimis, entitled "America’s Broken Health Care: Diagnosis and Prescription
One interest fact: America's life expectancy is declining compared to that of other industrialized countries even when you only compare upper- and upper-middle income white people. (In other words correcting for the fact that some other developed nations have much more homogeneous populations, usually white, than we do. Think, for example, of Finland and Sweden.) Why is this happening, especially given how much money we spend, as a nation, on health care?
