ARE YOU READY FOR EPISODE 101 OF The Combustion Chronicles Podcast? LET'S DO IT! Bridging the Divide in Healthcare (with Dr. YiDing Yu)   Picture this: a healthcare system that doesn't discriminate based on income, geography, or social status. A system where everyone, regardless of their background, has equal access to quality medical care. Unfortunately, the reality we face today is far from this ideal.

They discuss the core issues in healthcare, including misaligned incentives between patients, providers, and payers, and the need to empower patients and improve the payment system.
