Community ownership transforms the broken health care system

Physician, author, and health care reform advocate David K. Cundiff discusses his article "Accountable care cooperatives: a community-owned health care fix." David outlines a transformative plan to replace the fragmented U.S. insurance system with member-owned, nonprofit cooperatives that integrate medical treatment with housing, nutrition, and social support. The conversation explores how shifting to a bottom-up, locally governed model with global budgets can freeze government spending while significantly improving patient outcomes through smaller physician caseloads and direct primary care. David argues that by addressing social determinants of health and cutting administrative waste, we can save trillions of dollars and restore trust in medicine. Discover how a democratic approach to wellness can build a society grounded in solidarity and shared prosperity.
