What role will state policy makers play in shaping healthcare? In his conversation with Health2049 co-host Jason Helgerson, Governor Jim Doyle reflects on the future of healthcare and the role of governors in healthcare policy. He discusses the unresolved question of whether healthcare is a right for all Americans or an individual responsibility, emphasizing the trend towards healthcare being considered a right. Governor Doyle believes that technology will play a fundamental role in healthcare transformation, making it more efficient and accessible. He advises new governors to focus on getting people covered and addressing social determinants of health. In 2049, he sees governors continuing to play a crucial role in shaping healthcare policy and addressing challenges related to end-of-life care and increasing life expectancy, within the context of a federalist system that values state autonomy.
