Why Do Americans Pay So Much for Health Care and Get so Little?

Why Do Americans Pay So Much for Health Care and Get so Little?

Professor Kotlikoff is joined by economist, James Rebitzer, and healthcare industry expert, Robert Rebitzer to discuss their latest book "Why Not Better and Cheaper?" This episode is a special one because it's the first time we've had guests that are identical twins! And twins that have co-authored a book on healthcare! In this episode Professor Kotlikoff and the Rebitzer twins discuss America's failing healthcare system, and how the U.S. spends 18 percent of GDP -- a higher share by a mile than any other advanced country, yet we rank 21st in healthcare outcomes.

Topics discussed:

. :

  • The heart of America's failing healthcare system.
  • Not just the system's disorganization, but the failure, for clear cut and highly fixable reasons.
  • Precisely what's not working in our current system -- all of which can be easily fixed.
  • Bringing established technologies to full use in lowering healthcare costs and improving healthcare outcomes. What things, exactly?
