WHO WE ARE
Tradeoffs started with a simple idea: There are no silver bullets in health care. Dan Gorenstein learned this covering the business of health care at the public radio show Marketplace. Economists, physicians and researchers taught him even the most well-intentioned plans to fix issues like unaffordable insurance, high prescription drug prices and inequitable care for marginalized patients carried risk and unintended consequences. He struggled to fit all that nuance and complexity into his short radio stories.
He thought a show that examined research, outlined policy pros and cons and chronicled how policy impacted spending and people could help folks on Main Street, Wall Street and Capitol Hill have smarter, more honest conversations about health policy. In the fall of 2019, Dan and University of Pennsylvania community health expert Courtney Summers launched Tradeoffs, a show that tells intellectually engaging, emotionally resonant stories about the complicated, costly and often counterintuitive world of health care.
