Looking For Leadership In American Health Care

President Donald Trump’s health secretary predicts the Senate will pass its version of the American Health Care Act by August — that chamber has set up a working group on the issue.

America’s health care system has been a contentious topic for a while now, and my next guest argues one of the key elements to fixing what needs fixing is leadership. Denis Cortese is a retired physician; he served as president and CEO of the Mayo Clinic and is currently director of the Health Care Delivery and Policy Program at ASU.

Cortese is also co-author of a new book, Rescuing Healthcare: A Leadership Prescription To Make Healthcare What We All Want It To Be.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
