Marc Andreessen: Can Tech Finally Fix Healthcare?

Healthcare is a $4 trillion industry, making up nearly a fifth of the U.S. economy—but despite having some of the best doctors and advanced technology, the system often delivers poor outcomes at skyrocketing costs. Why is this the case, and what will it take to fix it?

In this episode, a16z cofounder Marc Andreessen and General Partners Vijay Pande and Julie Yoo tackle some of the biggest questions shaping the future of healthcare:

  • Is the solution to our healthcare crisis a policy, technology, or competition problem?
  • Will AI and technology transform the industry, or are regulatory and structural barriers too entrenched?
  • Who will crack the code—healthcare incumbents, tech giants, or AI-native startups?

From chronic care to cost curves, from disruptive technologies to shifting patient agency, this conversation offers an unfiltered look at what’s broken in the healthcare system and how it might finally change.
