Listen now (57 mins) | Watch on YouTube MIT's Amy Finkelstein is truly one of the world's premier economists. She's just teamed up with another superb economist, Stanford's Liran Einav, to write a terrific book on fixing our horrible and horribly expensive healthcare system.
Hi Cheryl, My aversion is the lake of competition, which is critical to keeping Medicare costs in check. But I would strictly regulate the competition to eliminate all the real concerns you raise. best, Larry
Love reading and sharing your insights to friends, many of whom have no clue. Me, I have a clue but it’s not as well informed as it could be. What about a “from scratch” new public school system while we are rebuilding healthcare here in America. Maybe too much to bite off all at once. Someone needs to focus on these areas and more. We need people in power who understand these issues and not only know how to fix them but actually fix them. Great job.
Hi Larry, Another great podcast! Just one question. What is your aversion to having the basic plan be all Public? The current commercial Medicare Advantage plans waste money on non-stop, obnoxious, deceitful advertising, deny authorizations at higher rates and would have a higher admin costs, IMHO.
