Giving Compass' Take:

• This TED Talk from German biopharma director Matthias Müllenbeck proposes reinventing the way we reimburse healthcare practitioners in the U.S., paying them for every day that a patient is healthy.

• This would require a radical system change in a system already complicated by politics. Could Müllenbeck's idea work at all? Are there other ways to reform the healthcare system to benefit patients? 

• One other way to rethink health care that may be less radical (but effective), is to eliminate much of the admin costs and inefficiency, as this article explains.

What if we incentivized doctors to keep us healthy instead of paying them only when we're already sick? Matthias Müllenbeck explains how this radical shift from a sick care system to a true health care system could save us from unnecessary costs and risky procedures — and keep us healthier for longer.
