1637 Healthcare in America: How We Got Into This Mess, How We Can Get Out of It
Multi-week in-person | Registration opens 1/6/26 10:00 AM
We’ll explore the history of health insurance in America: how we got the most expensive in the world with low-quality care compared to other industrialized countries. The rise (and fall?) of HMOs, PPOs, accountable care organizations, Obamacare. What has and hasn't worked. Pros and cons of our current system(s). Single-payer system? Medicare for everyone? What are the possible futures of American healthcare? Is there a way out of our mess or a middle ground political parties can agree to?
Moderator: Dale Bradford ran health plans and founded and managed a healthcare consulting firm for 30 years in five US cities including Cincinnati.
