Healthcare, Education, and the Cost of a Broken System | Dr. Nelva Lee

America spends more than any other nation on healthcare and education — yet outcomes continue to fall behind.

In this episode of the Common-X Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Nelva Lee to unpack why two of the most critical systems in our society are failing the people they’re meant to serve.

We explore:

• Why healthcare costs keep rising while access and outcomes decline

• How education has become unequal, outdated, and misaligned with reality

• The structural incentives that keep broken systems alive

• What meaningful reform actually looks like — beyond political talking points

This conversation isn’t about left vs. right — it’s about fixing systems that no longer work and imagining smarter, more human-centered solutions for the future.

If you care about healthcare, education, or the long-term stability of society, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
