“Similarly, we could toss out the healthcare system and maybe start fresh and it, and that'd be an intriguing sort of, ah, thought discussion. But in reality, we can't do that either. And so what we're gonna see is people working within the system.”

“Actually, those, all those informations are not very documented. Actually, not documented at all. How they're incentivized, how they work, why they are doing that, all those things.”

“Friction is the wrong model for what needs to get fixed in the healthcare system. It's resistance. Somebody makes every dollar in the 3.2 trillion dollar economy here. They like making that money.”

“Billions are lost in unpaid claims.”

“And certainly when the easiest but not the best way to remove costs from the system is either to deny care to patients or push more of the payment burden onto patients, that's exactly what will happen.”

“If five of the Fortune 50 companies walked away from the big three insurance companies and the big three PBMs, they'd have to change their business models, and immediately, immediately the entire healthcare system would change.”

“You as a patient are told to wait weeks for a doctor's appointment, and you assume that that's because every doctor is booked out solid. But it actually turns out that a lot of the capacity in our system goes completely wasted.”

“And yet, if you look at our healthcare system, nothing in the healthcare system thinks about someone who is at risk of heart disease exercising as a healthcare intervention. No payer pays for it. No one incentivizes you to do that.”
