Knowledge@Wharton: How behavioral economics could solve America’s health care woes
Dr. Kevin Volpp was interviewed on the Knowledge@Wharton radio show to discuss the application of behavioral economics to the complex problem of health care reform. Volpp believes that, despite a House of Representatives vote to repeal and replace it, America isn’t done dealing with the Affordable Care Act. He and Dartmouth College economics professor Jonathan Skinner wrote an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association proposing four general principles that should be part of any effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
