Description
This video explores the rise of the hospital-insurance duopoly after WW-II, especially the unintended consequences of the Hill-Burton Act. The Hill-Burton Act provided funding to build hospitals in America, cementing them as the default choice for healthcare.
This video is the second in my series “Healers to Healthkeepers,” which explores the history and path dependency that led America from building public health infrastructure to holding doctors accountable.
