In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss the American healthcare system. Over the last generation, U.S. healthcare costs have more than doubled compared to other developed nations, but we are not any happier or healthier. So where does all this money go? How did we get to our current system? And how do we even shop around if there is no price transparency? They share some evidence and a few anecdotes to help illustrate how inefficient the current system is. In the end, they highlight a few programs to help individuals and Trishul throws in an idea that could raise GDP by 1%.
