March 10 – Paying the price: examining healthcare affordability

Healthcare costs in the U.S. have climbed sharply in recent decades, straining patients, employers and public budgets. Even as the nation spends nearly twice as much per person as other wealthy countries, Americans lag behind their peers on life expectancy and other key health measures.

• Dr. Mark Cockley, Senior Vice President of Population Health, North Region of Froedtert ThedaCare
