Is Health Insurance Actually Insurance?: My Conversation with Dr. Reinier Schuur

from Healthcare Musings · host Hesham A. Hassaballa, MD, FCCP

Is health insurance actually insurance? Is this why costs are so high? Are there other ways to pay for healthcare? I asked this and many more questions of Dr. Reinier Schuur, health policy analyst with the Center for Modern Health, a health policy think tank. Our conversation was thought-provoking.
