PNHP board adviser and APHA past president Dr. Walter Tsou discusses his recent medical education tour of Cuba on back-to-back episodes of the Prescription for Healthcare podcast.

Dr. Tsou describes a system in Cuba that prioritizes primary care and public health, and that achieves remarkable results with significantly less spending than the United States.

In contrast, our profit-focused system “doesn’t work for Americans,” he says. “It costs too much, it covers too few, and it hurts too many people.”
