The American healthcare system is an outlier. But is the single-payer model the solution? This week on The Undercurrent Uncovered, the Deep Dive Team takes on the single-most debated topic in US politics: healthcare reform. We don't just look at the bumper sticker slogans; we dive deep into the data. We investigate the core question: Could a move to a single-payer system truly curb the nation's soaring trillion-dollar healthcare costs? We examine global models to analyze the inevitable tradeoffs, confronting the uncomfortable realities of potentially longer wait times for specialized care, while also assessing the impact on medical innovation and pharmaceutical R&D. Tune in for a fact-based breakdown that separates the fear-mongering from the fiscal realities, and what it would truly take to implement this massive shift.
