Introducing The Caseload
caseload.substack.com
Hello and welcome.
Today, I’m launching The Caseload, in which we’ll explore the business side of the US healthcare system.
In particular, I will try to answer questions like these:
How do the various businesses in healthcare make money?
What monetary incentives do those businesses have, and which are good and bad for patients?
When the system produces a poor outcome for patients, what has gone wrong?
The many shortcomings of the healthcare system are well-documented; my hypothesis is that it can be still be saved. Here, we will put that hypothesis to the test.
