PREVIEW — Joseph Sternberg — Contrasting U.S. Healthcare Innovation with European Availability Issues. Sternberg argues that while the American healthcare system suffers from significant financing inefficiencies and administrative complexity, the overall quality and availability of care remain "phenomenal" compared to Europeanhealthcare systems characterized by chronic access limitations and supply constraints.

Sternberg argues that Europeanpolicymakers must fundamentally reconsider resource allocation strategies to encourage innovation essential for generating superior economic and health outcomes supporting aging populations facing escalating chronic disease burdens.
