Is the American Healthcare System Broken?

Healthcare is a difficult and contentious issue that everyone must face. The costs keep rising, especially for end of life care (which takes 17-25% of total healthcare spending). Clay Jenkinson will lead the discussion with experts on various aspects of the US healthcare system. They will discuss access to healthcare, the cost of current healthcare and its outcomes, the opioid crisis and what potential changes could be made.
