Ep66: In the Aftermath of the UHC Murder - Not the What & How, but Why

February 25, 2025 • Dr. Eric Fethke

A panel with Dr. Don Berwick, Tanya Sanderson and Ron Howrigon

Today, Dr. Fethke calls on three previous guests to share their thoughts, insights, and solutions in the light of the UHC incident, a tragic murder that highlighted the scale of public anger at the state of our healthcare system.

With our panel drawing from their vast collective experience at clinical, administrative and federal level, this episode serves as a vital resource for understanding how we got here, why the situation is so dire, and what we need to do to fix it.

From insurance companies to pharmaceuticals, medical professionals to hospitals, the government and most importantly the public: it’s time to move forward constructively, reforming American healthcare for the better.
