Politically Feasible Health Reform event with Jeremy Sammut - Part 1

Despite the ever-escalating cost of health posing severe fiscal sustainability challenges, health reform has been dumped even more firmly in the politically too-hard basket since the ‘Mediscare’ federal election. A politically-feasible reform strategy is required to catalyse much-needed innovation in the health sector and deliver more cost-effective healthcare. Jeremy Sammut, fellow researcher at the CIS discussed what it will take to achieve meaningful change in the $155 billion health sector, and the issues raised in the CIS’ Health Innovation Program’s 2016 report 'Medi-Vation: Health Innovation Communities’. ____________________ The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) promotes free choice and individual liberty, and defends cultural freedom and the open exchange of ideas.
