Our Work

Why doesn't healthcare in the US improve in quality while becoming more affordable, as we see in other industries? Join us for an enlightening discussion with James (Jim) and Robert (Bob) Rebitzer, authors of "Why Not Better and Cheaper?" We explored the unique challenges of healthcare innovation in the US, discussing why there's a lack of incentives for cost-reducing innovations and the ease of profiting from low-value innovations. The Rebitzers also shared their perspectives on directing healthcare innovation towards more efficient and cost-effective solutions. This is a crucial conversation for anyone interested in the future of American healthcare.

The webinar will focus on non-competes in the healthcare sector. We will explore important questions, such as if non-competes for physicians: cause harms that exceed their benefits? limit patient access? differentially impact large health systems and small physician practices? We will also discuss how the new proposed FTC rules could reshape the landscape.
