  • How this system compromises quality care for profit
  • Alternatives to the traditional healthcare model, including direct primary care
  • How direct primary care cuts out the middlemen and lowers costs
  • Real-world examples of how patients can better advocate for themselves
  • The hidden incentives driving inflated medical prices and short visits
  • Simple ways to find more personalized, transparent care

If you’ve ever felt rushed, overbilled, or ignored by the healthcare system, this episode will help you understand why and show you that there’s a better way forward.
