30 Days of US Healthcare: How Do We Fix Healthcare?

About this video

In the finale of the 30 Days of US Healthcare series, low-level employees of a hospital corporation, an insurer, a drug company, and a publisher meet a resident to brainstorm fixing health care. Their ideas, as Flanary scripts them, range from universal coverage to cutting pharmacy middlemen, restricting private equity ownership of practices, repealing the ban on physician-owned hospitals, and enforcing price transparency. They conclude change requires state-level legislation, electing people with care experience, and public storytelling that embarrasses corporations, with Jonathan held in reserve.

Key takeaways

• Employees of insurers, hospitals, pharma, and publishing are shown agreeing reform is needed from inside the system
• Flanary’s list, as voiced by characters, includes PBM and DIR fee reform, price transparency enforcement, and limits on private equity ownership
• He portrays legislation starting at the state level as the realistic mechanism characters settle on
• Social media storytelling and investigative journalism are presented as pressure corporations cannot fully control
