SN: I wish I could say it would be exponentially easier to access healthcare. That price transparency would be the norm, that everybody competes for value, and that we would see a bending in the cost curve at a significant proportion. I said “I wish,” but what I think instead we’ll continue to see is incremental improvements driven by the private market and large employers. I’m not convinced we’ll see the absolute transformation some people have predicted. To get that kind of transformation, we need a public overall mandate that says healthcare is not just a privilege, but it is a right and that has to show up in the ballot box.
