With Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe
Why do we spend so much more on healthcare, per capita, than other developed countries?
Why do we achieve worse outcomes on several important measures than countries that spend far less?
Why do we spend up to twice as much per person as countries that provide universal coverage, while leaving as many as fifty million Americans without insurance?
This session takes a brutally honest look at Jewish legal writings on the right to medical care, comparing them to recent legislation in the US and viewing Jewish law as a model for healthcare reform.
