Increasing the Health Care Supply to Meet Health Care Demand

Robert Graboyes is a senior research fellow for the Mercatus Center. Later this month Dr. Graboyes will release a report about health care innovation, which I intend to talk about at some length on this blog. In the meantime, I want to re-up the Reason video from earlier this year. The video features Dr. Graboyes talking about a wide array of reforms that would get care to the neediest among us. If you’ve read our work before, you’ve probably heard of many of the recommendations he talks about, including regulatory, Medicaid, certificate of need, and scope of practice reforms. I highly recommend the video, particularly the section about prosthetics and 3-D printing, which captures well how quickly the market for health care could change in the coming years.
