U.S. Health Care Reform: Setting the Record Straight with Scott Atlas

Senior Hoover Fellow Scott Atlas revisits facts about medical care quality, as well as access to care, compares those with nationalized systems often held up as models and analyzes the impact of the Affordable Care Act. Acknowledging the challenges facing the healthcare system, he proposes a six-point plan to restore incentives to increase healthcare quality and reduce costs.

He researches the impact of government and the private sector on access, quality, pricing, and innovation in health care, and he is a frequent policy adviser. His most recent book is Restoring Quality Health Care: A Six Point Plan for Comprehensive Reform at Lower Cost. From 1998 to 2012, he was a professor and Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Atlas also advises entrepreneurs and companies in the life sciences, medical technology, and health information technology sectors.
