Podcast 210: Why Health Care Reform Keeps Falling Short w/ Dr. Elliott Fisher, Dartmouth Institute

Decades after the research that proved high-spending regions don't produce better care, and 20 years after the term "accountable care organization" was coined, the U.S. health care system still runs overwhelmingly on fee-for-service. The incentives haven't changed, and the results show it.
Dr. Elliott Fisher, Professor of Health Policy at the Dartmouth Institute and the Geisel School of Medicine and the researcher who coined the term ACO, joins host John Marchica for a frank look at why value-based care has fallen short of its promise, and whether a public utility model for health care regulation might be the structural fix the system has been missing.
