The United States is abuzz with talk of health care reform, but why does the system need repairs in the first place? Josh and Chuck explore how the current American health care system works (and doesn't) in this episode, the first in a four-part series.
In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the current state of America's healthcare system as part one of a four-part series on healthcare reform. They explore how health insurance evolved from a 1920s Texas program for teachers into today's complex employer-based system, examine the differences between fee-for-service and managed care models, and break down who has insurance and who doesn't among America's population. The hosts also tackle some eye-opening statistics about how the US healthcare system compares internationally, including why Americans spend more on healthcare than any other country but rank surprisingly low in health outcomes.
