New Podcast Episode on Maryland’s Healthcare Model
This episode from the Maryland Now podcast explores the history of Maryland’s unique all-payer healthcare system. The episode features insights from healthcare leaders across the state, including Gene Ransom, CEO of MedChi.
On this episode, host David Nitkin takes on healthcare — an industry so big and so personal that he almost didn't tackle it, given his own history working inside the Johns Hopkins system. Drawing on interviews with seven leaders across Maryland's hospitals, physicians, regulators, and insurers, David traces the 50-year history of the "Maryland Model" — the state's unique all-payer healthcare system — from its 1970s origins through today's uncertain future, as a new federal agreement threatens to unwind the very thing that's made Maryland's healthcare financing unlike anywhere else in the country.
