The American health care system is broken. Health care affordability, along with inflation, are among the top concerns going into the upcoming election, especially given that the majority of Americans with hospital debt have insurance—the benefit that is supposed to protect them. In addition, concierge medicine continues to grow, making care expensive and unattainable for most people. This week, managing partner Lee Shapiro joined Meghan FitzGerald, Investor & Founder, Grey Ghost Capital; Adjunct Professor of Health Policy and Management, Columbia University; Larry Levitt, Executive Vice President, Health Policy, Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF); and moderator Maria Aspan, Fortune at Fortune’s Brainstorm Health conference to discuss the healthcare affordability crisis.
