A bit about Second Opinion

Healthcare is complicated. The incentives are strange, the acronyms are endless, and the stakes are enormous.

At Second Opinion, we try to make sense of it. We cover the business of healthcare, from policy shifts and startup bets to the capital and ideas shaping the future of care.
