The problem of skyrocketing health costs has been well-documented here at Vox. This graph of health care spending as a percentage of our total GDP summarizes the issue.
The recent outlook may be a little better than it was, but regardless we spend a ludicrous amount on health care. There's a lot of ideas out there that could save money, but one of our favorites is deceptively simple: let nurses do more. There's plenty of evidence to back it up - Matt Yglesias explains in the video above in 90 seconds.
Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
