Capitol Confidential

The Berger Prescription


Listen Later

The delivery of health care in New York has been in flux for more than a decade, but the current landscape was largely shaped by the Berger Commission.

Created in 2005 under Gov. George Pataki, the commission was tasked with overhauling the delivery of care to New Yorkers. A year and half later, a final report was produced that recommended closing and merging hospitals all over the state.

Mark Ustin, former general counsel to the commission, joined the podcast to explain the circumstances that led to the formation of the commission, how they crafted their prescription for New York and the ramifications of their work.
