Doctor, Former Insurance Exec, and Think-Tank Rep Debate the Future of U.S. Health Care
Summary — not the full piece
A three-way debate on St. Louis Public Radio's St. Louis on the Air, pairing Ishmael with former health-insurance executive-turned-reform-advocate Wendell Potter and a physician. Ishmael argued that everyday health coverage functions more like a maintenance plan than true insurance against catastrophic risk, and that framing should shift toward insuring the big, unpredictable events; Potter countered that most Americans lack the savings to make that model workable given typical deductibles.
