Earlier this year, Amazon announced it was teaming up with JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway to change how health care is provided to their 1 million plus employees. Stressing their venture would be “free from profit-making incentives and constraints,” but providing few other details, we now wait to see if Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon, and Warren Buffett can transform the industry. To analyze the announcement, and discuss the state of US health care more broadly, I’m joined by AEI economist and health care wonk Ben Ippolito.
Benedic Ippolito is a research fellow in economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, where his research is in public finance and health economics. His recent work has focused on the behavior of health care providers, price regulation, and health care financing.
