Why America faces a primary care shortage – and why it matters
Episode details
Episode description
There’s a critical need for primary care physicians across America, but a shortage of doctors and rising insurance costs are forcing people to forgo preventive care altogether. Americans die of preventable, treatable diseases at far higher rates than people who live in other similar nations. Horizons moderator William Brangham explores possible solutions with Dr. Lucy McBride and Renuka Rayasam. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
