The debate over how to bring down health care costs often becomes a finger pointing game. Hospitals, insurers and drug companies all say the others are to blame.
Earlier this summer, I moderated a panel that tried to take a more collaborative approach.
We brought together a health system CEO, an insurance executive, a pharmacy leader, a top Trump administration official and one of the country’s leading health economists. The goal was to discuss how everyone in the health care industry can work together to make care more affordable.
The conversation took place at Aspen Ideas: Health, a conference that gathers policymakers, clinicians, researchers and industry leaders to talk about some of the biggest issues in health care.
I hope you listen to the conversation in our podcast feed, read the transcript or watch the video. I moderated another discussion in Aspen with two physicians and an ethicist about how we can better navigate the uncertainty that permeates our health care system, which is also worth checking out.
