Why Everything We Think We Know About Health Care is Wrong

With David Goldhill, CEO of Game Show Network

David Goldhill, CEO of Game Show Network
Beyond telling the tragic story of his father and the later adventures in medicine to heal his son, Goldhill unpacked the comparison after comparison of the advances in technology and productivity in every area against the state of health care.
This keynote, “Why Everything We Think We Know About Health Care is Wrong”, brings biting analysis and extensive research into one eureka moment after another challenging the preconceptions in delivering health care that have plagued us for decades.
Beyond shattering the status quo, Goldhill models how to even talk about reform to regular people terrified to go to the doctor or hospital because of the catastrophic costs lurking behind their “insurance”.

Dinner Keynote

Fortress and Frontier in American Health Care

Robert Graboyes, Ph.D. – “Fortress and Frontier in American Health Care”
Senior Research Fellow and Health Care Scholar, Mercatus Center, George Mason University

In speaking about the Fortress mentality and Frontier opportunities in health care, Graboyes did not hesitate to celebrate the innovation of DPC and tech advances in health care, but neither did he fail to step on toes when in came to perceived physician blind spots regarding everything from tele-medicine to nurse practitioners.
A Senior Research Fellow and Health Care Scholar at the Mercatus Center, George Mason University, Graboyes brought his famed outsider analysis to the state of health care, health care technology, and innovation.

With wide ranging analysis drawing from successes in other disciplines and making startling comparisons when evaluating advancements (or the lack thereof) in other fields, Graboyes sparked a fiesty Q&A not to be missed.

Watch the video or download the MP3 at d4pcfoundation.org/dpc and be sure to read the two articles he quoted extensively in the congenial debate he described on the impact of Uber on medicine.
