We were too lazy to come up with our own healthcare predictions for 2021, so we invited Bob Kocher, MD (Partner, Venrock) onto the show to discuss his Fortune magazine article, “10 Non-COVID Predictions for 2021.” Will Medicare go all-in on virtual care? Will Amazon’s pharmacy gain traction? Tune in to find out!
