The Dark Side of Healthcare: How Profit Drives Medical Decisions with Dr. Michael Fine 52:48

منذ 21 يومًا52:48

52:48

Healthcare should be about people, not profit—but unfortunately, that’s not the system we have today. In this episode of Broken Healthcare, I sit down with Dr. Michael Fine, a physician and author of On Medicine as Colonialism, to expose how corporate interests have hijacked healthcare. From hospitals exploiting public funds to private equity draining community resources, we break down the real cost of profit-driven healthcare—and what we can do about it. In this episode, you’ll learn: 1. How corporate greed is draining healthcare dollars: Why public hospitals are being sold off for profit while patients get stuck with skyrocketing bills. 2. The hidden ways your community is being exploited: How wealth extraction through healthcare affects entire families, not just patients. 3. Why traditional healthcare is failing primary care: The truth about why you can’t find a doctor and wait times are months long. 4. How direct primary care (DPC) changes the game: Why cutting out insurance middlemen leads to better, more personal healthcare. 5. What communities can do to take healthcare back: The movement to rebuild primary care for all Americans and what it takes to make real change. Healthcare isn’t broken—it’s being deliberately run this way. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Subscribe to Broken Healthcare and join the conversation on how we can fight back!

Exposing Hidden Fees: Jamie Greenleaf on Fiduciary Responsibility in Healthcare 56:08

منذ 4 weeks56:08

56:08

Are you overpaying for healthcare without realizing it? The reality is that most employers are blindly trusting third-party administrators, brokers, and carriers without questioning the hidden costs baked into their plans. But with new regulations under the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), it's time for employers to take a proactive role in managing their healthcare plans like they do their 401(k)s. In this episode of Broken Healthcare , I sit down with Jamie Greenleaf of Fiduciary in a Box to uncover how employers can cut costs, increase transparency, and meet their fiduciary responsibilities when it comes to healthcare benefits. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why most employers don’t realize they’re overpaying for healthcare: Lack of transparency keeps costs hidden in plain sight. How the CAA is forcing healthcare transparency: Employers are now legally required to review costs and eliminate conflicts of interest. The role of brokers and third-party administrators in rising costs: Many brokers profit from higher premiums rather than working in your best interest. Why removing gag clauses is critical for cost savings: Hidden clauses prevent employers from accessing key financial data. How adopting a fiduciary process can reduce expenses and improve care: When employers take control, they unlock massive savings and better outcomes.

Today, I sat down with Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle, a visionary who’s leading the charge to redesign our broken healthcare system from the ground up. His journey from a traditional medical career to founding revolutionary care models, and even shaping Amazon’s healthcare initiatives, is nothing short of inspiring. We covered a lot of ground in this episode, from broken systems to bold solutions, and I’m excited to share it all with you. Here are the top takeaways you don’t want to miss: Key Takeaways: 1. Redefining Primary Care: Dr. Rushika explains how relationship-based care, not transaction-focused systems, holds the key to better health outcomes and patient satisfaction. 2. The Power of Direct Primary Care (DPC): Learn how DPC models cut through red tape, improve access, and reduce costs by focusing on proactive, personalized care. 3. The Employer’s Role in Healthcare: Hear how organizations like Boeing achieved a 40% drop in hospitalizations and slashed absenteeism rates through innovative partnerships. 4. Technology with a Human Touch: Discover how AI and wearable tech can complement – not replace – healthcare providers, enhancing care delivery and engagement. 5. Practical Solutions for Chronic Conditions: Dr. Rushika shares real-life stories of how simple, patient-centered actions (like a $35 iPod purchase) can lead to massive cost savings and improved patient experiences. If you’ve ever wondered why healthcare feels so impersonal or inaccessible, this episode will blow your mind. We’re diving deep into what’s wrong and, more importantly, how to fix it. Whether you’re a patient, an employer, or just someone who’s passionate about change, this episode is packed with insights you can use.
