The Chain Reactions Wrecking Healthcare Affordability: Facility Fees, Stark Law, and Noncompetes. Episode 529. Why do hospital facility fees keep pace with inflation while professional fees fall behind—and how did a law meant to stop kickbacks end up fueling a stipend economy instead? Stacey Richter talks with Eric Bricker, MD, founder of AHealthcareZ and former co-founder and chief medical officer of Compass Professional Health Services, about two action/reaction chains reshaping healthcare affordability: the facility-versus-professional-fee gap, and the Stark Law's unintended stipend economy driving hospital consolidation. Along the way: a $48,126 hospital charge for the same appendectomy that pays a surgeon $609, the AMA's $300 million CPT-code business, and how Tryon Medical Group in Charlotte, North Carolina, won back 90% of its patients by leaving its hospital employer. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ How separate physician "professional fee" and hospital "facility fee" billing streams have diverged so far that Medicare pays a surgeon $609 for an appendectomy while the hospital's published charge for it runs $48,126 ✅ Why the Stark Law's ban on hospitals paying physicians for referrals gave rise to "stipends"—flat annual payments that can range from $1 million to $50 million depending on hospital size, and how physician consolidation in fields like anesthesiology has pushed those stipends higher ✅ How "site unneutral" payment gaps incentivize hospitals to buy independent physician practices and shift services like echocardiograms into hospital settings to capture higher fees for identical care ✅ Why noncompete clauses trap physicians in incentive structures misaligned with patient care—and how Tryon Medical Group in Charlotte, North Carolina, sued to leave its hospital employer and kept over 90% of its patients ✅ Why self-insured employers (covering roughly 60% of Americans) and physicians organizing beyond fragmented specialty lines are healthcare's "two sleeping giants" ✅ Practical alternatives already in use: employer direct contracting, direct primary care subscriptions, and fixed-fee specialty models like the LA urology group paid on subscription for prostate cancer care WHY THIS MATTERS These two chain reactions—the facility-versus-professional-fee gap, and a well-intentioned law that quietly created a stipend economy—aren't abstract policy trivia. Together they drive the hospital consolidation and site unneutral payment schemes squeezing employers, taxpayers, and patients alike. As Stacey frames it, understanding how these action/reaction chains work is what it takes to reverse their direction toward more affordable, higher-quality care. The fix isn't waiting on Washington: it's employers and physicians—healthcare's two sleeping giants—using their leverage, whether through direct contracting, ending noncompetes, or simply voting with their feet.

What does it take to overcome temptation?In Matthew 4, Jesus enters the wilderness and faces the devil's temptations immediately after His baptism. In the wilderness, Jesus shows us how to resist temptation, stand firm in our identity, rightly understand Scripture, and refuse the shortcuts sin offers.The wilderness may be one of the worst places to be—but it can also become one of the best places for spiritual formation. It is where God exposes what is in us, teaches us dependence, and prepares us to become people who can crush the serpent rather than be ruled by it.In this message, Ethan Bricker explores three common ways temptation works:• Scratch the Itch — when legitimate desires become opportunities for sin.• Is God's Will Flexible to Mine? — when we manipulate Scripture or demand that God accommodate our desires.• Sexy Splendor vs. Matchless Beauty — when the enemy offers shortcuts to things that can only truly be received through God.The way forward is simple, but not easy: flee to the Scriptures and flee to the presence of God.Jesus has given us what we need to overcome. We may not overcome perfectly every time, but in Christ, God has still called us overcomers.Go crush serpents this week—and teach others to do the same.Visit and support the ministry: The Clearing#OvercomingTemptation #Temptation #Jesus #Matthew4 #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #SpiritualFormation #Discipleship #Faith #HolySpirit #Scripture #ChristianSermon #EthanBrickerFor more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
How to Use Stories in Business Presentations Turn Data Into Meaning with Business Storytelling Episode 321 (Dave is based in Florida) (repeat of #40) In this conversation with Dave Bricker we explore: how stories connect speakers with audiences why every business story must involve people how personal experiences become audience metaphors when fictional stories can deliver honest lessons how leaders can use stories to address difficult issues why conflict keeps listeners curious how to define the audience's transformation why deeper emotional concerns matter more than surface goals how sensory details pull people into a scene why speakers need to perform rather than merely recite a story how strategic pauses strengthen important words why business figures require meaning and context how to turn nervousness into service why coaching and regular practice improve speaking skills ----- About ouir guest, Dave Bricker: He's sailed 1000s of miles in search of stories-not gold, but stories. Two, he's an award-winning speaker who has authored 12 books. And three, he's a business storytelling expert who helps professionals discover what to say and how to say it. Learn more at https://remarkable-stories.com/ ----- Key Learning Points from this conversation: Stories connect when the audience recognizes its own journey in them. Make your personal experience a metaphor for the listener's experience. A useful business story does not need to come from your own life. Fiction can teach a legitimate lesson when you present it honestly. Stories focus on people rather than prices, processes, ingredients, or data. Decide how you want the audience to think, feel, or act differently. Build the story around a journey from conflict to transformation. Look beneath surface goals to find the audience's deeper concerns. Conflict creates the question, “What happened next?” Open strongly enough to pull listeners into the story. Use sensory details to create an emotional experience. Perform the story through vocal variety, pacing, and pauses. Give listeners time to process a question, idea, or humorous line. Translate business figures into meaning for the people listening. Reduce speaking anxiety by shifting your attention from fear to service. Seek coaching, feedback, and regular practice to strengthen your speaking. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

A full church calendar can look like a list of events, or it can look like a set of open doors. Pastor Mark Bricker and Christian Miller walk through the member meeting and Newcomers Coffee on Sunday, September 13, the middle school snowball fight on September 16, a Prayer and Praise Night on Wednesday, September 30 where the worship team introduces three songs they wrote themselves, and an October 4 Sunday that stacks the second annual Ministry Fair, the Change the World offering, and candy collection for the Fall Festival. Underneath the dates sits one hope, that every member finds a place to serve. Bricker also points to Elevate Weekend for grades six through twelve and three October mission trips, to Hungary, Southeast Asia, and Zambia. If you are new, or you have been here a while and still have not found your place, this one hands you a map.

What if the things costing you nothing are actually costing you everything?In Matthew 16:24–25, Jesus presents one of the most profound paradoxes of discipleship: “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” The life we spend trying to preserve through comfort, self-protection, distraction, control, and pleasure may actually be keeping us from the life Jesus wants to give us.In this message, “Expensive Nothingness,” we explore why self-preservation can become self-destruction, why the easy road can lead away from life, and why following Jesus requires us to choose our hard.Jesus isn't calling us to an exchange of nothing for nothing. He invites us to trade our lesser desires for something of infinitely greater worth: the Kingdom of God and the surpassing worth of Christ.Through the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price in Matthew 13, we see that when we truly recognize the value of God's Kingdom, surrender stops looking like loss and starts looking like the greatest exchange imaginable.In this sermon, we explore:Why self-preservation can become self-destructionThe paradox of losing your life to find itWhy discipleship is hard—but refusing discipleship is harderThe hidden treasure and pearl of great priceWhy grace is free but never cheapThe things we cling to that can keep us from GodWhat it means to surrender our desires to JesusThe connection between comfort, distraction, and spiritual formationHow Jesus gives us significance in exchange for our brokenness“Something that costs you nothing will cost you everything.”The question isn't whether you will surrender something. The question is what you will surrender to.If Jesus is worth everything, then nothing is too costly to give up for Him.Visit https://www.theclearing.net/ to learn more about our ministry and find ways to support what God is doing through The Clearing.#ExpensiveNothingness #EthanBricker #ChristianSermon #Jesus #Discipleship #Matthew16 #Matthew13 #KingdomOfGod #PearlOfGreatPrice #HiddenTreasure #Christianity #Faith #FollowingJesus #Surrender #BiblicalTeaching #SermonFor more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
In this episode from earlier this year, Alex speaks with Darrell Bricker about whether Canada is at a breaking point, drawing from Bricker and John Ibbitson's book Breaking Point to explore Canada's economic stagnation, regional alienation, generational anxiety, and fragile national identity. Bricker argues that Canada's challenges are serious but not fatal if Canadians are willing to stop kicking hard problems down the road and start building a country that younger generations can actually believe in.

What Happens East of Eden | Promises That Make Us Generous | Ethan BrickerWe all want God's promises—but what happens when the promise becomes more important to us than the God who made it?In Genesis 12–13, God gives Abram incredible promises of land, descendants, blessing, protection, and ultimately blessing for all the families of the earth. But when Abram and Lot face conflict over their possessions, we see two very different responses to God's blessing.Abraham lives open-handed because he trusts the God who made the promise. Lot chooses based on what he can see.In this message, we explore what happens east of Eden—and how the wilderness reveals what is really happening in our hearts.We'll ask:Have you been jealously guarding what God has given you?Do your possessions possess you?Who is the highest power in your life?The wilderness is where God stress-tests our hearts. It teaches us that the destination isn't ultimately the goal—the goal is walking with the God who designed the destination.Because when God Himself is our promise, we can finally hold His blessings with an open hand.“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
How To Stir Up Your Faith | Fan Into Flame What God Already Put In You | Ethan BrickerWhat do you do when your faith feels like it's burning less brightly than it used to?In 2 Timothy 1, Paul writes some of his final words from imprisonment to his young friend and ministry partner, Timothy. Paul knows his own death is approaching, yet instead of telling Timothy to start over, he gives him a powerful command: “Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you.”The Greek word Paul uses is ἀναζωπυρέω (anazōpyreō)—to rekindle, revive, stir up, or fan into flame.Paul isn't telling Timothy to find a new revelation, chase a new experience, or discover a new spiritual gift. He's reminding him to tend the fire God has already placed within him.Your faith doesn't always need something new. Sometimes you need to remember what God has already done.In this sermon, Ethan Bricker explores what it means to stir up your faith, rekindle your spiritual fire, and continually tend to the presence of God within you.

Have you ever wondered why the Bible describes worship in so many different ways?In Part 2 of 7 Hebrew Words for Praise, Ethan Bricker continues exploring the rich vocabulary of biblical worship and teaches that praise is far more than singing songs—it is a lifestyle expressed through our voices, our bodies, our gratitude, our humility, and our wholehearted devotion to God.In this message, we unpack the final Hebrew words for praise found throughout the Old Testament:• Hallal (הָלַל) – exuberant celebration, boasting in God, shining, and joyful praise with abandon.• Yadah (יָדָה) – lifting hands in surrender, thanksgiving, confession, and reverence before God.• Todah (תּוֹדָה) – giving thanks before the breakthrough comes; worship rooted in faith rather than feelings.• Shabach (שָׁבַח) – shouting triumphantly in confidence because of who God is and what He has done.• Barakh (בָּרַךְ) – kneeling in humility, blessing the Lord, and recognizing His greatness above our own.• Zamar (זָמַר) – praising God through music, singing, instruments, and joyful celebration.• Tehillah (תְּהִלָּה) – a spontaneous song of praise that declares the goodness and mighty acts of God.Along the way, I share the story of the first time I personally encountered the presence of God in a Wesleyan youth group and how a simple act of lifting my hands transformed worship from something I merely understood into something I genuinely experienced. God's presence had always been near, but surrendering my heart, mind, soul, and strength helped align my attention with the One I had chosen to seek.We also explore how the Psalms shaped Israel's understanding of worship, why biblical praise often involves our whole bodies—not just our voices—and why worship is ultimately about desire over duty. True worship isn't empty emotionalism or religious performance; it is practiced obedience that grows from a heart captivated by God.Whether you're curious about raising your hands in church, kneeling in prayer, shouting with joy, dancing in worship, or simply wanting to understand the biblical foundations of praise, this teaching will help you see worship through the lens of Scripture.Key Scriptures:Psalm 145Psalm 95Psalm 63Psalm 34Psalm 57Psalm 40Psalm 22Isaiah 611 Chronicles 29If this message encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a comment letting us know which Hebrew word for praise challenged or inspired you the most.#Worship #HebrewWords #Praise #BiblicalWorship #ChristianTeaching #BibleStudy #Psalms #PresenceOfGod #ChurchSermon #Faith #Jesus #OldTestament #ChristianPodcast #Theology #BibleTeachingFor more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
Discover what biblical worship really means through a deep dive on the 7 Hebrew Words for Praise. Is worship just singing songs, or is it something much deeper?In this message by Ethan Bricker, we explore the powerful truth that worship is love seeking Love. Through the lives of King David and King Jehoshaphat, you'll discover that worship isn't merely a church style or musical preference—it's a wholehearted response to God's presence expressed through obedience, gratitude, celebration, and surrender.We'll unpack the rich meaning behind the Hebrew words for praise—including Hallal, Yadah, and Todah—and see how much depth is often lost in English translations. Learn why David danced before the Lord, why lifting your hands has biblical significance, and how worship becomes a weapon in spiritual battles.Whether you've wondered why some churches raise their hands, what the Bible teaches about worship, or how to grow closer to God through praise, this sermon will help you experience worship as God intended.In this sermon you'll learn:• What worship really is according to Scripture• The biblical meaning of Hallal, Yadah, and Todah• Why obedience and worship belong together• Why King David's worship still challenges us today• How praise strengthens faith during difficult seasons• Practical ways to deepen your personal worship throughout the week"We obey to learn to worship, and we worship to learn to obey."If this message encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who wants to experience a deeper relationship with God.#Worship #BiblicalWorship #HebrewWords #KingDavid #Praise #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #Faith #Jesus #Church #ChristianTeaching #HolySpirit #Bible #PraiseAndWorship #ChristianLifeFor more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
What if the gathered church was never meant to become the destination—but the launching point?In this message, we look at the early church in Acts and ask: What was the church actually built for? Through teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, generosity, and prayer, believers were formed together so they could go out and carry the gospel into everyday life.Church isn't meant to replace ministry. It exists to equip it.This message explores:• The four pillars of the early church (Acts 2:42–47)• Why gathering matters—but isn't the finish line• How consumer Christianity can distract from discipleship• Why leadership exists to multiply ministry, not monopolize it• What it looks like to bring Christ outside the four wallsWhen the holy huddle breaks… we go.

The night before Easter 1905, Miranda Bricker left her sister's house and made her way through the darkness. Her destination was her living quarters and place of employment, the Maplehurst mansion, the home of Mount Vernon, Ohio's leading industrialist. Within sight of her destination, an attacker emerged from the darkness, rushing her from behind. Their battle cut across the Maplehurst lawn, ending in Bricker's death before witnesses could be sure what was happening. The killer melted away into the night. My guest is Mark Sebastian Jordan, author of "The Maplehurst Murder: Mount Vernon's Most Infamous Unsolved Crime". He walks us through Miranda's horrific murder, the bloodhound hunt that led to the sheriff's prime suspect, and the suspect's eventual death.

He and his team have developed a novel health behavior change intervention model based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (“ACT”). The principal investigator of over $35 million US dollars in research grants, he has been leading ten NIH R01 randomized trial grants, as well as led or collaborated on multiple other Federal and private research grants. His current grants focus on testing a machine learning natural language processing chatbot for quitting smoking, several smartphone applications for tobacco cessation in the general population, among cancer patients, American Indians & Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and adolescents, and a weight loss telephone coaching program based on ACT. His “iCanQuit” smartphone app based on ACT was proven more effective than a leading National Cancer Institute smartphone app based on the US Clinical Practice Guidelines in a large, randomized trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine. iCanQuit is now publicly available. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed research articles on addictions, behavioral interventions, and technologies. Currently, he serves as a Senior Editor of the journal Addiction.

Healthcare is one of the most complex—and misunderstood—industries in the world. Few people explain it better than Dr. Eric Bricker. In this episode, we sit down with the physician, entrepreneur, and Chief Medical Officer behind AHealthcareZ, whose viral whiteboard sessions have become must-watch content for healthcare leaders. Dr. Bricker traces his unconventional path from internal medicine to entrepreneur to healthcare economist and reveals how financial incentives, not just clinical decisions, shape outcomes across hospitals, insurers, employers, and emerging health tech. We unpack why healthcare feels so opaque to patients and employers alike, what's broken in insurance and billing, and why misaligned incentives continue to drive cost and complexity. Dr. Bricker also makes the case for transparency, stronger primary care, and smarter use of technology as levers for real change. This conversation is essential listening for executives, clinicians, benefits leaders, founders, and policymakers who want to move beyond surface-level reform and understand how healthcare actually works—and how it can work better.

We got the ball rolling in 2025 with this episode, and it ended up at the very top of the activity list, so we'll close out the year with it as well! Thank you, Dr. Eric Bricker for joining us in the studio for Episode 48 of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast. Known for his entertaining and educational videos covering all sorts of hot topics in and around healthcare and employer/employee benefits, Dr. Bricker and host Justin Venneri discussed the issues of high-cost drugs and access to claims data - two topics he covered on AHealthcareZ - Healthcare Finance Explained - that should [still] be top of mind for plan sponsors as pharmacy costs continue to rise.Dr. Bricker shared several ways employers, depending on their size and risk tolerance, may be able to navigate the challenge of rising pharmaceutical costs for orphan and other expensive drugs - including GLP-1s. He also explains how the RFP process can be used to secure the plan's claim data, which is necessary to meet fiduciary obligations. While every plan is unique, most plan sponsors face similar challenges that the traditional PBM model isn't flexible or aligned enough to solve.Lastly, Dr. Bricker expressed astonishment by the complacency out there, but he was right! The setup was perfect for an acceleration in the pace of change in 2025, and we see the momentum carrying over into 2026 - so, tune in to hear why, if you didn't catch Episode 48 the first time around.AHealthcareZ Reference VideosHigh Cost Orphan Disease Drugs ExplainedDo Employers Own Their Claims Data?

Episode 3754: Nir Eyal explains how to manage distractions by focusing on the internal triggers that spark them, rather than fighting the urges themselves. Through practical techniques like writing down triggers, exploring sensations with curiosity, and “surfing the urge,” he shows how to turn fleeting impulses into opportunities for self-mastery and improved focus. These methods help us stay present, avoid reactive behaviors, and build resilience against everyday temptations. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/internal-triggers/ Quotes to ponder: “I'm feeling that tension in my chest right now. And there I go, trying to reach for my iPhone.” “One of Bricker's favorite techniques is the ‘leaves on a stream' method.” “This rule allows time to do what some behavioral psychologists call ‘surfing the urge.'” Episode references: American Lung Association: https://www.lung.org Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center: https://www.fredhutch.org Learn more about your ad choices.
