I went to med school in 2013. Every self-respecting doctor knows this guy is telling the truth.

imagine what a world we would live in if all the knowledge we have is used to to benefit people instead of profiting off them.

Been working as a pharmacist for 34 years, and I've never heard a more sincere description of the profession.

I moved from the US to Mexico. I got a job here and they offered me government health care or private. I went with private expecting the same service I got in the US, such as Kaiser or Blue Cross. I made an appointment one day about my shoulder that has been bothering me for years. Expecting the same nonsense, muscle relaxers and pain killers. Went in, they took an x-ray, then a scan, they noticed something torn on the rotator cuff and said they can do surgery tomorrow if I'd like. I was like "wtf!?" they patched up my shoulder next day and put me in PT quickly after. Something is wrong with American healthcare and people refuse to see it.

Health insurance call center rep here. 100% TRUTH! “The more confusing, the more convoluted they can make it, the more profits” I started doing medical billing in the 80s. It was terrible back then, and it’s only gotten worse. I had to quit my job at a major health insurance company as a call-center rep because it was so apparent to me what they were doing. We had 28… 28!….Different computer programs that we may have to check to try and find out why a provider was not paid. They were clearly doing this on purpose. My conscious would not allow me to continue working for that company. Insurance companies have way too much power, and they need to be laws to hold them accountable.

Surgeon and health system executive here - thank you for this episode! Meaningful transparency about how these systems churn disease for dollars is the only hope for meaningful change. More people need this info.

Our politicians know this is happening, but the money they receive in political contributions from big pharma and massive hospital groups outweigh the desire to help the common person. The system is so far beyond broken
