Why Is America’s Health Care So Expensive? | LPP 61 w Dr. Brian Blase

I'm joined on the "Let People Prosper Show" by Dr. Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, to discuss how public policy influences the healthcare market. We discuss: 1) How Medicaid evolved from its origins and throughout the pandemic, and need for reform; 2) How Obamacare continues to affect the health care industry, distort prices, and influence how employers provide health care coverage; and 3) How government intervention in health care alters the flow of supply and demand and what changes should be made to improve the system.
