How the coronavirus crisis reveals the inefficiency and expense of American medicine. The US spends more on healthcare per person than virtually anywhere else in the world - but its health outcomes are no better. The pandemic has shown up enduring issues over complexity, fragmentation, perverse incentives, over-treatment for some, and under-insurance for others. One estimate is that the US could spend $1 trillion per year less on healthcare and have the same outcomes - or even better. Presenter: Neal Razzell Producer: Anna Meisel
