How Our HealthCare System Needs To (And Can) Change

What if we reimagined the health care system so it was incentivized to keep people healthy instead of just treating them when they got sick? That’s the discussion Andy has with Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Accountable for Health CEO Mara McDermott on this week’s episode. They take a look at efforts both in Congress and private enterprise to move to a care system that puts patients first and emphasizes quality over quantity. Plus, how and where these changes are already working and will benefit you.
