Dr. Wilson highlights the power of lived experiences and the necessity of multidirectional learning in fostering true community partnerships. His insights are a roadmap for anyone looking to bridge the healthcare gap for marginalized communities.We also tackle pressing issues such as the decline in public trust within the healthcare system and the essential role of caregivers, especially those in home and community-based services (HCBS). From innovative delivery models to the impact of the pandemic on public health initiatives, this episode outlines strategies for promoting equity and access. We discuss how states can build on existing foundations to improve HCBS and explore how community organizations can be better resourced to sustain their vital work. Dr. Brandon WilsonDr. Brandon G.

When we talk about outsourcing, does lead generation come to mind? If we were being honest, I'd say no. I think about content creation, social media management, systems, and VA's… but lead gen and sales? That feels like something huge companies do… right?    Well, after this episode, our brains were completely flipped. This got us thinking about just how important— better yet, profitable— it can be to outsource this process. If this sounds intriguing, then you are in for a treat, my friend.   DUO COLLECTIVE SHOW NOTES: https://duocollective.com/blog/how-to-source-new-leads   DUO ON AIR INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/duoonairpodcast/   COMMUNITY CATALYST: https://www.thecommunitycatalysts.com/

In March, the actions of a local church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina received national attention for all the right reasons. The congregation at Trinity Moravian Church partnered with an organization called R-I-P Medical Debt to cancel 3,000 local residents' medical debt, to the tune of $3.3 million dollars. They bought that debt for just a little over $15,000 dollars.  Rev. John Jackman, the pastor of Trinity Moravian Church held a symbolic “debt burning” ceremony to mark the occasion, with confetti and hymns.  In 2016, John Oliver, a comedian and host of the HBO series Last Week Tonight, purchased $15 million dollars in medical debt from 9,000 people, that he bought for “less than half a cent on a dollar.” And some state officials, like Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut, are currently proposing using federal pandemic aid to cancel billions of dollars in medical debt. Yes, these are happy stories of people working together to help their community members, neighbors, and even strangers.  But this is also a crisis. Millions of Americans carry the burden of outstanding medical debt – An investigation in 2022 by Kaiser Health News and the Kaiser Family Foundation, found that 100 million people across the nation have some type of health care debt. Kaiser estimated that in 2019 –  the total medical debt in the country was around $195 BILLION dollars. For more on this we spoke with Emily Stewart, Executive Director at Community Catalyst, a national nonprofit focused on health justice.

Heavy Equipment Operator Turns to Entrepreneurship - Community Catalyst Founder Amanda Rumball #127 Before I was an entrepreneur, I had a high 6-figure 9-5 as a heavy equipment operator at an oil mine in rural Alberta, Canada. It was a crazy life, and I LOVED it, but as it tends to do, getting pregnant with our first child changed everything. The mining lifestyle wasn't sustainable as a mother, but the stay-at-home-mom life wasn't for me, either. I was itching for something more. So, I built my business as a way to support others, nurture my own creativity, and still be home with my babies. I wanted to show my children that you can do anything you set your mind to, and after starting a sales funnel business that wasn't for me, a client of mine recommended community management, and it clicked instantly. To this day, I absolutely love helping busy entrepreneurs grow and nurture their communities with a cup of coffee in hand.

As the digital revolution continues to unfold, creating a sense of tight-knit community has never been easier, but paradoxically, it's also never been more challenging.

In this episode, Rhys sits down with Lars Schmidt, the Founder and Community Catalyst of Amplify, to discuss the process of building an authentic community for people operations leaders. Lars shares his career backstory so far, and he also explains why a strong sense of community has never been more important for people operations leaders as we all adjust to this digital, globally distributed age.

"More than 40% of people over 65 years old misperceive that Medicare covers long-term care." -Marc A. Cohen, PhD Long-term care is care across a range of settings and can include medical and non-medical services that assist individuals who cannot care for themselves for extended periods. Also, long-term care is often provided at a person's home, largely by family and friends. Thus, it's a challenge to discern whether you even need long-term care insurance coverage. If you can afford this type of policy, it's even harder to know if the insurer and the policy will still be there with adequate coverage whenever you need it. In this episode of This Is Getting Old, Marc A. Cohen, PhD., will talk about the basics of how long-term care is paid for now - and discuss future trends for the long-term care insurance industry. Part One of “Do I Need Long-Term Care Insurance? And Future Trends” How Is Long-term Care Currently Financed? Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) are services designed to help people with functional incapacities, limitations, or cognitive issues. These circumstances limit a person's ability to perform basic activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, toileting; all the things that one would need to be able to do in order to live independently. Unlike acute medical care, with services like hospital care, physician care tends to focus on curing people of specific ailments; long-term services and supports are designed to help people living with chronic illnesses maintain their function or reduce the decline in functioning over time. In today's market, long-term care is financed in three major ways: ✅ Out-of-pocket: Disabled older adults and their families pay out-of-pocket for care. ✅ Medicaid: A federal-state social safety net program. Older adults must qualify for Medicaid by meeting very low income and asset thresholds. ✅ and private long-term care insurance. Is Private Long-term Care Insurance Still And/Or Going To Continue A Valuable Product For Consumers? The long-term care financing problem in the United States is enormous. People over age 65 today, around twenty-five million of them will require long-term care services and supports projected to cost trillions of dollars; including family support provided care, which is not often evaluated. When we look at the dollars spent and put a dollar value to the care provided by families, it's more than seven times what our public program, Medicaid, pays. So given that the bulk of care is provided by families, we have these situations now, where the caring family network is stretched. We used to talk about the “Sandwich Generation” - where you had an older adult caring for an elderly parent and a school-aged child— Dr. Cohen now calls this the “Panini Generation”. In other words, paying for and providing long-term care can create a situation that crushes families. Given these circumstances, we need to have more financial resources flowing into this system. The problem is so big that no one sector can handle it on its own. That means that we can't fully publicly finance long-term care —and we've already proven that it can't be a privately owned, privately funded solution. Therefore, we need roles for the public and private sector in order to find a viable solution. Part Two of “Do I Need Long-Term Care Insurance? And Future Trends.” Can Long-term Care Insurance Still Play A Meaningful Role In Addressing The Challenges Of Long-term Care Financing? And What Public Policies Need To Change For Long-term Care Insurance To Remain A Viable Product? We've seen in the private market that private insurance companies can no longer handle that “catastrophic risk” that is called “long-tail risk” or “long-term risk”. Another one is that the private insurance industry is much better at handling folks who need care for one, two, three, four, maybe five years, but they get in trouble with rating agencies who think that they're taking on uncapped liabilities. With that, the private sector has stopped providing coverage. So the long and the short of it is that each financial option has a clearly defined role. The private insurance sector has to worry about developing insurance products that will work based on their terms. The public sector takes on the predominant part of the risk—the catastrophic. The idea is that by doing that, older adults can put together a package of comprehensive insurance that starts with the private sector and moves to the public sector. "It's no longer an accident that we live long lives —we expect to live long lives, but that brings functional impairment and cognitive impairment levels that we haven't seen. And because the long-term care financing problem necessitates bold action, it's going to require bold action." -Marc A. Cohen, Ph.D A Catastrophic Public LTSS Insurance Program Can Significantly Help The Market Thrive And Meet America's LTSS Financing Challenge. The notion of “catastrophic public long-term services and support” is an idea that proposes financial help would be variable, depending on your economic circumstance. For example: ✅ If you're lower middle class, the public program would pay after you need care for one year. ✅ If you are a little bit wealthier, you would pay for the first two years with your savings or insurance, and then the public program would kick in. ✅ And if you're wealthy, then potentially you have to worry about the first four years of care, and then the public program provides coverage. What's nice is there are a couple of good things about this scenario: ✅ First of all, when you have a well-defined public role, it will help people understand, "Oh, I've got some personal accountability or responsibility for worrying about whether it's one year, two years, or three." ✅ Number two is about how the middle-income folks accessed Medicaid because they spent down their income and assets. Well, if you have an insurance solution for those folks, that means you have fewer claims on the social safety net. This further means that states will have some pretty significant savings to their Medicaid programs. So it'll be relatively attractive to states and the people accessing Medicaid—people for whom there are no insurance alternatives and no savings alternatives. ✅ The third thing that it does is that it will stream new money into the system. All of us know what happened during the pandemic, especially in the beginning when the pandemic ravaged elders in nursing homes in particular. Part of the issue is that we have underfunded the entire long-term care system. So there has not been enough money to support levels of wages that we need to attract and keep people working, develop career ladders, pay for high-quality care and safety. A public insurance program with private insurance filling in the gaps and savings will stream more money into the system and will have everyone benefit from a better system.

As we consider what it means to be a Community Catalyst, what does that look like in the world today where the church is not the withholder of power, but still proclaims God's power? How does the church not be the gatekeeper of grace, but still proclaims our freedom from sin and death, made possible by grace? How does the church not require acclimation, but still proclaims Christ as the truth and the way? How does the church actively work as Christ did, to free the oppressed, to heal the sick, to give life to the dying, while not claiming glory or attention for ourselves, but giving thanks to God in heaven above?
