How to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System with MIT's Amy Finkelstein, PhD

Professor Kotlikoff is joined by one of the world's premier economists. Amy Finkelstein, PhD is the John & Jennie S. MacDonald Professor of Economics at MIT, co-director and research associate of the Public Economics Program at the NBER, and the co-Scientific Director of J-PAL North America. Amy has won countless awards for her truly outstanding contributions to economics and is one of the brightest minds in the field.

Together with another superb economist, Stanford's Liran Einav, Amy co-wrote a terrific book on fixing our broken healthcare system called, We've Got You Covered. Professors Kotilkoff and Finkelstein discuss her book and go deep with shocking real life cases of bad the US healthcare system is and the people that suffer. Plus, practical answers on how to fix it, and the advantages of a two level universal healthcare system. Also, a comparison to foreign healthcare systems, the best of which produce dramatically better healthcare outcomes at half the cost. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economic Matters - The podcast is hosted by Laurence Kotlikoff and moderated by Alex Kotlikoff.
