The U.S. healthcare system is often described as one of the most advanced in the world, yet it’s also one of the most expensive and fragmented. Millions of Americans struggle with navigating insurance networks, surprise medical bills, and soaring costs. For many, accessing basic healthcare feels more like solving a puzzle than receiving care.

So… why does the U.S. spend so much more on healthcare than other countries? What role do high prices, private insurance, and systemic inefficiencies play? And most importantly, what can we do to fix it?

To help us unravel these questions, we’re joined by Mustafa Hussein, an Assistant Professor of Health Economics at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health. Mustafa specializes in health inequalities, public policy, and the socio-economic drivers of health outcomes.

Today – he discusses how our system got here and what it’ll take to create meaningful reform.
