The US health care system assumes many things about patients: that they can take
off from work in the middle of the day, speak English, have a working telephone
and a steady supply of food. Because of that, it's failing many of those who are
most in need, says Mitchell Katz, CEO of the largest public health care system
in the US. In this eye-opening talk, he shares stories of the challenges
low-income patients face -- and how we can build a better system for all.

in the US. In this eye-opening talk, he shares stories of the challenges
low-income patients face -- and how we can build a better system for all.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference. TED's editors chose to
