Event Description

The organization and financing of healthcare in America has been controversial ever since the progressive era. Our healthcare system is dealing with the legacy of COVID-19, a decline in trust in government, and a future of uncertainty about government policy and funding. Today, only 40% of us have a lot of confidence in the U.S. healthcare system. All of this comes when we have had great innovation in new and promising treatments that also result in sticker shock for consumers who are coping with ever-increasing deductibles and other purchaser strategies to try to limit healthcare costs. Joe Konen ’75 and Marianne Udow-Phillips K’75 will discuss the current state, possible paths forward, and critical policy options. This event is sponsored by the Hamilton and Kirkland Classes of 1975 and is open to all.
