Why health insurance is broken, and telehealth startup Ro's patient revolution
How did a wage freeze during World War 2 cause US healthcare costs to spiral out of control? And how can patients win back the power to demand better treatment? We ask the founders of telehealth startup Ro, which just raised $500 million at a $5 billion valuation. They reveal a path back to aligned incentives for the public and healthcare providers. Hear how its CEO Z Reitano was inspired to build a better primary care service after a side effect of his heart medication left him with erectile dysfunction. Learn about Ro's $5 prescription delivery and how it's partnering with Uber to administer COVID-19 vaccines to immobile patients. And get a breakdown of the five telehealth trends shaping the future from Ro investor SignalFire.
