PULSE: THE ATLANTIC SUMMIT ON HEALTH CARE 2018
Innovation and medical breakthroughs have been a hallmark of a system that develops new cures and treatments every day. But America spends far more on health care per person than any other country – spending, that has not translated to better health outcomes. Drawing from leading thinkers across the country, in combination with Boston’s revered medical community, The Atlantic brought together the brightest minds shaping health care today to explore the future of our health care system.
