Title: The Three Trillion Dollar Trough
Description: Text of a lecture delivered to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Marc Schewel's presentation examined the inefficiencies and high costs of the U.S. healthcare system, which spent approximately $3.65 trillion in 2018. He highlighted the discrepancies between this high expenditure and the poorer health outcomes in the U.S. compared to other high-income countries, scrutinizing various sectors of the healthcare industry, including hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers, for their role in inflating costs.
