How American health care killed my father
When his father died after acquiring preventable complications during a hospital visit, media and technology executive David Goldhill began a quest to better understand the health care industry. In the September cover story of The Atlantic, Goldhill argues that the proposed overhaul being considered in Congress will fail to fix the system, and what we need is a new health-care model centered on the consumer, not insurers or the government. Larry talks with Goldhill about the provocative solutions he proposes.
