HWhy is meaningful healthcare reform so difficult, even when patients, physicians, and employers agree that the current system is too expensive and confusing?


IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Kat Lindley joins Harvard-trained epidemiologist and former White House health policy advisor Dr. Katy Talento for a remote conversation examining the incentives and structural barriers that protect the healthcare status quo.


Topics include:

• Inflated healthcare prices and hospital consolidation

• Limited transparency and misaligned financial incentives

• A payment system that often rewards services and procedures over prevention

• The financial impact of chronic illness

• Informed consent and better communication of risks and benefits

• The role of independent physicians and facilities

• Practical reforms that could lower costs and increase patient control
