Pulse: The Atlantic Summit on Health Care
Fixes: New ideas for America’s health-care system
The United States spends more per person on health care than any other country in the world, but that doesn’t mean that Americans, on the whole, receive better care than people living in other developed countries. Inequities abound — determined by where you were born, where you grew up and where you live now.
In its third annual summit on health care, The Atlantic gathered the brightest minds and problem solvers working on the front lines of health care to discuss what it will take to advance the health of all Americans.
