America forks over twice as much for healthcare as other nations, yet we die younger with the world's fattest waistlines. It's not an accident—it's a system rigged to keep us sick for profit.
Dr. Amanda Holden and Dr. Shawn Dill, who've ditched the corporate grind, join Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley to unpack the incentives warping care, from maternal mortality spikes to rural black holes. They drop real alternatives like cash models and HSAs, plus blunt tips on dodging the traps. Skeptical? Listen— the numbers don't lie.
