On this week's episode we dive into what it means to be a patient tangled in the United States healthcare system; with some of the best physicians and academic medical centers in the world, the US has some of the worst healthcare outcomes when compared with other OECD countries. Anjana helps us uncover why. Anjana Sreedhar is the author of the recently published Health Care of a Thousand Slights, released in December 2020. The book documents the history of health disparities in the United States among marginalized communities. Deftly weaving topics such as public policy, history, and social justice, Sreedhar paints a comprehensive picture that answers the question: how did our health care systems get here? Join me a unique discussion into what plagues healthcare today.
