On episode 129, Dan talks with Dr. Ean Bett, a family medicine physician in Columbus, about Medicare for All, national healthcare insurance, and the prospects of either sweeping or more incremental change to fix the ailing U.S. health care system.
Dan mentions a Youtube video of Dr. Bett in conversation with Greg Moody, “Is Medicare for All the Answer.” USA Healthcare, an organization Dr. Bett is a founding member of, has a different approach from Medicare for All by educating around social values and has a slogan of “Universal. Simple. Affordable.”
Ean references a 2018 Ohio Medicaid study that showed increased employment rates of people on Medicaid. He also shares information about Direct Primary Care, an innovative option to get around private insurance.
