The Price of Health

-

Medical debt accounts for more than 65 percent of bankruptcies in the US. Crowdsourcing, cash discounts, and price transparency navigators have emerged as ways to help patients pay for their medical bills. But these offerings mask a larger issue: it is expensive to be sick in the US. In this session, panelists will discuss how these solutions can pave the way for broader systemic change.
