Broken Healthcare Podcast
8 months for a diabetes appointment.
An 8-month wait isn’t a delay. It’s a system failure.
When a diabetes patient waits eight months for care, the problem is bigger than scheduling. Broken Healthcare exposes the incentives, bottlenecks, conflicts, and hidden economics that make this feel normal — and shows what can be done about it.

Why this show exists
This system isn’t broken by accident.
Healthcare is a nearly $5 trillion economy operating exactly as many of its largest financial beneficiaries intended it to operate.
Broken Healthcare Podcast exists to expose the incentives, economics, contracts, and decisions shaping the healthcare experience for employers, advisors, clinicians, patients, and families every single day.
At its core, this show is about facts, incentives, and math — because behind every premium increase, denied claim, inaccessible medication, or delayed appointment is a financial structure influencing behavior whether people realize it or not.
We believe some of the most important voices in healthcare are the people willing to challenge the status quo, follow the data, ask difficult questions, and advocate for solutions that prioritize people over confusion, misalignment, and institutional self-interest.
Broken Healthcare Podcast exists to give those conversations a voice.
The problem
Healthcare has a math problem — and an incentive problem.
Most buyers are handed renewals, networks, formularies, and explanations that make the system feel too complicated to challenge. That confusion is expensive.
Hidden incentivesContracts and compensation shape what gets recommended.
Confusing costsEmployers and families are often forced to make decisions without real visibility.
Controllable leakageThe first win is usually smaller, faster, and more practical than people think.
