Mark Cuban and Dr. Fumiko Chino Try to F-Up Healthcare | from Before We Go
Manage episode 518825760 series 60585
Today’s episode features two people who are shaking up the U.S. healthcare system in very different but deeply humane ways. Dr. Fumiko Chino knows firsthand how devastating medical debt can be. After losing her husband to cancer and being left with overwhelming bills, she went to medical school to become a radiation oncologist and made it her mission to make care more affordable.
Mark Cuban, best known as one of the “sharks” on Shark Tank, is tackling the same problem from another angle. Through his Cost Plus Drug Company, he’s disrupting the industry with a transparent, direct-to-consumer model that’s already changing — and saving — lives.
Together, Fumiko and Mark offer a hopeful glimpse of what’s possible when empathy meets innovation.
