In Memory of a Great Health Thinker

Thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family of Uwe Reinhardt. I had the pleasure of serving as a teaching assistant for him at Princeton. Professor Reinhardt was a great thinker and amazing communicator. His iconoclastic and often hilarious approach was rooted in deep values and solid data. For leaders in health care and all of the people that rely on our health care system (which is all of us), Professor Reinhardt's passing leaves a void. It's hard to imagine a more chaotic time in health policy and now (more than ever) we need to make decisions based on facts, while remembering why health policy and choices are so important.

7 年Thanks Larry - here's a snippet from the NYT on Professor Reinhardt on one of his many accomplishments. He was a giant: "In 2015, the Republic of China awarded Professor Reinhardt its Presidential Prize for having devised Taiwan’s single-payer National Health Insurance program. The system now provides virtually the entire population with common benefits and costs 6.6 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (about one-third the share that the United States spends)."
