In this episode Scott Becker discusses how he thinks healthcare payment reform is not the answer.
Summary
Why Healthcare Payment Reform is Not the Answer
In this episode, Scott Becker discusses his belief that healthcare payment reform is not the solution to fixing the current state of healthcare.
Lack of Healthcare Professionals
According to Becker, the real issue lies in the shortage of doctors, nurses, and clinicians available to provide care for the growing and aging population. No matter how the payment system is reformed, it will not address the underlying problem of limited healthcare professionals.
Misallocation of Funds
Payment reform simply shifts money around from one party to another, without actually benefiting those in the medical field. Becker argues that instead of focusing on payment reform, resources should be directed towards increasing the number of healthcare professionals to meet the rising demand.
