Tradeoffs

There are no silver bullets in health care. Economists, physicians and researchers are on the record saying that even the most well-intentioned plans to fix issues like unaffordable insurance, high prescription drug prices and inequitable care for marginalized patients carry risk and unintended consequences.

Tradeoffs examines research, outlines policy pros and cons and chronicles how policy impacts spending and people with the mission of helping folks on Main Street, Wall Street and Capitol Hill have smarter, more honest conversations about health policy.

Hosted by long time public radio reporter Dan Gorenstein (Marketplace, NHPR), Tradeoffs is a weekly podcast that tells intellectually engaging, emotionally resonant stories about the complicated, costly and often counterintuitive world of health care. Dan is available for ME/ATC two-ways about any of the topics we cover.
