Continuing our theme of post-election essays by content-matter experts on thorny, public and apolitical issues, we are proud to feature a piece today about why the U.S. healthcare system is so difficult to reform. Health analyst Cristin Marker steps out of the labyrinth of our health system with a map to guide us on how to navigate it, focusing on two key issues: incentives and innovation. Cristin’s piece manages to be a clear and straightforward read while still going in-depth on a very complicated topic, and you can read the full piece here.
