Audience and Agenda: This audio interview was done for the purpose of the Gateway2 class at the Univeristy of Oregon.
Usefulness: Kevin McAndrews provider tax and insufficient reimbursement from government health programs is like a “double tax” on health care providers. Reimbursement from employer-based coverage is what keeps health care providers in business. He thinks that information technologies, incentives for doctors in primary care, and restriction on insurances companies will help to lower health care costs.
