In this joint op-ed, Dr. Stephen Klasko, former CEO of Jefferson Health, and Lee Bienstock, CEO of DocGo, argue that the pandemic proved healthcare could be delivered differently: virtually, at home, and with fewer bureaucratic barriers. Five years later, many of those gains have been rolled back, even as hospitals struggle to survive. They call for bold action, including a federal healthcare commission, to make virtual care standard, reward prevention over procedures, ensure real price transparency, and use AI to give clinicians time back. The choice is clear: cling to a failing status quo or embrace lasting transformation.
