Part 1
Eileen Appelbaum is Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Washington, DC, Fellow at Rutgers University Center for Women and Work, and Visiting Professor at the University of Leicester, UK.
We discuss the structural determinants of healthcare in the US. This means the financial aspects of setting up health care systems, including financing the construction of hospitals and clinics. There are concerns about how this is done, and the problems of rural facilities.
Part 2:
We talk with Elisabeth Rosenthal, senior contributing editor at KFF Health News and author of “An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back.”,
We discuss how hospitals that are “non-profit” are actually in profit-making enterprises, and not paying the appropriate taxes. How does this affect the communities in which they operate?
