درباره این اپیزود
Rising healthcare costs, elevated utilization, and regulatory uncertainty are putting pressure on the U.S. healthcare system. In this episode of Let’s Talk Future, Michael Wiederhorn, Managing Director & Senior Analyst for Healthcare Providers & Services at Oppenheimer, explains the forces driving today’s difficult cycle—from deferred pandemic care and chronic disease to rising labor and drug costs. He also explores why ACA subsidies are so critical and how their potential expiration could impact millions.
Despite the challenges, Wiederhorn sees signs of stabilization as providers and insurers reprice premiums, integrate across the care continuum, and adopt new technologies that improve efficiency. Election-year debate will add volatility, but the long-term outlook is improving.
