Case Western Reserve University School of Law Presents: Health Care Delivery In America: Its Weaknesses and How to Make It Better; 4:30PM – 5:30PM on Wednesday, October 11^th, 2023

Health care in America is an unmortared mosaic of services and funding sources. We are the only developed country without a mandatory system and our aggregate costs absorb 18% of our GDP and is as much as double what other countries are spending.   Insurance plays a big role as a source of payment and dysfunction. The lecture will provide an overview of all programs which regulate and fund health care ranging from Medicare to Obamacare and private insurance and all the sources of delivery of services, from hospitals to Community Health Centers. Variations in state programs ranging from Mississippi to Massachusetts will be considered.  Our system will be compared to variations on mandated and universal systems deployed in other countries including the UK, Canada, Israel. It will raise the question whether health care is a primary right or an entitlement. Finally, it will consider the prospects for improvement including eight incremental changes.
