Rising healthcare costs is a problem that seems to be on everyone’s mind, from patients to government officials. But what are the possible solutions?

On this week’s episode of “The Cost of Health,” Rahul shares his thoughts on the factors that drive rising costs, a strategy for value-based reimbursement in North Carolina, and how it all works.
