Video: Complexity, divisiveness cloud health care reform prognosis
The healthcare system in the United States has been slowly collapsing over the past 30 years, according to Bradford Kirkman-Liff, professor of health policy and biotechnology at the W. P. Carey School of Business. In a video interview conducted in collaboration with The Communications Institute, Kirkman-Liff explores the sources of pressure on the system, including the impact of large numbers of patients who are uninsured and the cost of pharmaceuticals. The prospects for reform, however, are clouded by what Kirkman-Liff calls the divisiveness of the national discussion.
