U.S Health Care Expenditures have risen to $4.5 trillion or $13,493 per capita, double the cost in other developed nations (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2023). These figures are staggering but will continue to increase absent intervention. New healthcare startups present such solutions to rising costs by developing new digital tools and healthcare options. Today on Uneven Distribution, Denise interviews Peter Joyner, an industry expert in healthcare startups, about the developments in the medical landscape, the importance of health insurance and doctor quality, and how AI will revolutionize healthcare.
“Health insurance is absolutely critical. And I think one of the big things we need to address the disparity in healthcare available is everyone needs to be covered by health insurance.” — Peter Joyner
“America’s health care system is in crisis precisely because we systematically neglect wellness and prevention.” – Senator Tom Harkin
