Healthcare's real crisis isn't diagnosis—it's execution and financing

Leuthe argues that healthcare's structural failures lie not in clinical knowledge but in three systemic breakdowns: the inability to execute care after diagnosis (the last mile), the financing models that separate money from clinical operations, and the access barriers that force clinical shortcuts through underqualified staff. He advocates that solving these operational and financial bottlenecks—not medical innovation—is the path to measurable health equity gains.
