In this episode, I spoke with Joe Grogan, former Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council and current Senior Fellow at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics. Joe has a unique wealth of experience, having seen health care policy from both the corporate and policymaking perspectives. We talked about his career in health policy, issues such as prescription drug costs and access to lifesaving treatments, the balance between innovation and costs in healthcare delivery, and insights on some of the most important healthcare debates.

Conversation with Dr. Alice Hm Chen

Healthcare is constantly evolving, from the way we develop lifesaving treatments to how care is delivered. There's no better example of this than during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to make our healthcare system more affordable, accessible, and high-quality for all, it is important to better understand how the system currently works and can be improved in addition to new ideas to promote our own health and wellbeing. In the Understanding Healthcare podcast, Sam Feudo speaks with leaders in academia, business, and government about the most important healthcare issues of our time.
