Stacey and Jake are joined by Professor Anna Sinaiko. After listening to "E1: History & Overview of U.S. Healthcare," we hope our listeners will have a newfound appreciation for the U.S. healthcare system’s complexity and a stronger understanding of how the U.S. healthcare system currently works for and with patients. Our conversation with Professor Sinaiko serves as a foundation to have deeper, more complex, and more than likely, confusing conversations about Medicare For All. We specifically discuss the following questions:  How do we look at the U.S. Health System as a market? - How is the U.S. health system currently structured? - What forms of health insurance exist and who is covered? - Why is the U.S. health system structured the way it is? - How does the U.S. health system compare to other developed countries? - What are the benefits of universal health insurance coverage? - What are the major pain points for health care consumers in the U.S.? - What is Medicare For All?
