In this episode of Perfectly Twisted, Nicole Eggert dishes out her latest run-in with the medical system—a wild ride so ridiculous it feels like she was cast in an undercover prank show. Spoiler alert: laughter wasn't prescribed, but it showed up anyway. Meanwhile, she and Dave bond over their mutual loathing for the worst drivers on the road (yes, slow left-laners, we're looking at you). Plus, a “great product alert” that might just change your life—or at least your Monday. And of course, Nicole opens the mailbag to answer your weird, wonderful, and wildly off-topic questions.   1:15 - US Healthcare System   9:35 - Driving Encounters 21:50 - Product Alert 27:12 - What We Are Watching 33:55 - Nicole's Mailbag Learn more about your ad choices.

Is it just so obvious to raise these questions. They were not raising them before now. So now I see that people are asking, why should it be this way? Why do the doctors quit? Why we cannot afford medicine that costs literally like a few cents in Europe. And it's not like third party country rates. What are the best developed countries in the world? Let's put it this way, it's affordable. And here it's not, in the richest country in the world. That's crazy.” Podcast Information Want PR that actually matters?

Price transparency in healthcare is essential for providing patients with clear, upfront costs of medical services, empowering them to make informed financial decisions.In this episode of  Straight Out of Health IT,  Dr. Jonathan Kaplan,  founder and CEO of BuildMyHealth, explains how their new platform DrWell addresses this challenge by offering real-time cash-pay price transparency, connecting patients directly with providers to ensure both affordability and continuity of care. Historically, healthcare pricing has become complex due to advancements in technology, third-party insurance involvement, and evolving payment models. Therefore, patients often face hidden costs, such as copays and deductibles, leading to unexpected financial burdens.In this conversation, Dr. Kaplan highlights that cash-pay options can often be more cost-effective than relying on insurance, especially for non-emergency services like outpatient procedures and medications. Increased price transparency drives competition among providers, ultimately reducing costs for patients while encouraging them to explore cash-pay options. For providers, adopting transparent pricing models and embracing cash-pay services can ensure financial sustainability and independence, particularly as insurance reimbursements continue to decline. Dr. Kaplan believes that moving forward, the healthcare system is expected to shift toward a market-driven model where insurance primarily covers catastrophic events, while patients pay out of pocket for more routine services. Consumers are advised to check prices ahead of time, explore cash-pay rates, and avoid defaulting to insurance when it isn't cost-effective. Providers are encouraged to treat patients transparently, offering clear cost estimates and embracing models prioritizing affordability, trust, and improved care outcomes.Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on how price transparency in healthcare can save you money, empower your choices, and transform the way you approach medical care! 

We wrap our latest series on macro-issues facing healthcare with a look back on the series. It intersects with a timely personal story that highlights how upside down our system is and the reasons behind it. In the process, I credit my wife with summarizing it all: "The US Healthcare System just feels like it's one giant trick being played on us all of the time."

The US healthcare system is under siege, financial distress and rising frustration and dissatisfaction by the public to name a few challenges. My guest today is leading the way to a different approach. Rob Roy is SVP, Chief Investment Officer and Co-Head of Environmental Sustainability for AdventHealth, a non-profit healthcare system which employs 3,800 physicians and provides healthcare services to over 8 million patients through 52 hospital campuses in 9 states and 22 home health and hospice agencies.

The group of smaller and medium-sized investors has been growing, and their value has never been clearer to founders and co-investors. They tend not to seek M&As, neutralising a concern that some startups have about having corporates on their cap table, while still bringing the advantage of corporate connections. They often place an even heavier emphasis on the health of the investment syndicate, as they may be in a worse position than larger funds if things fall through, and they often opt, for example, for observer seats over board seats. All in all, they are team players who can still open very important doors. The post The US healthcare system has a huge resource shortage. Here's how small and medium-sized investors can help plug the gap. appeared first on CVC Unplugged.

We've all heard the rhetoric. The US has the best health care in the world. That's true for some who can afford to pay for it. But on average, that's not true.  On today's show we are going to look at a report published by the Commonwealth Fund a little over a year ago. It was also reported in the American Journal of Managed Care earlier this year.  Now you might wonder why we would focus on this on a real estate podcast. Well, it's because anywhere there are problems, there is a solution waiting to be implemented. Often, any large scale solution has a real estate component to it.  According to the Commonwealth Fund report, United States experiences the worst health outcomes overall of any high-income nation. ------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

When a health concern arises, the worry is two-fold: first, about the condition itself, and second, how to effectively access proper treatment and care. Even when you know a great deal about how the system works, navigating the US healthcare system is fraught with difficulty and heartache. The ride through a complicated, fractured, confusing, and dehumanizing healthcare system can be maddening. Medical consumer advocate Joyce Griggs is the developer of www.unitedstatesofhealthcare.com, a resource for patients and their families. We discuss how best to prepare for a doctor's visit, how to make sure all members of your medical team are on the same page, and how to advocate for yourself. For example, it's important to take advantage of new transparency laws to price out your healthcare. What to do when hit with insurance denials and sticker shock at the pharmacist? What about the pluses and minuses of telemedicine? Why it can be important to bring someone with you to critical doctors' visits and to advocate for you during a medical crisis. Joyce shares her own experience dealing with the healthcare system on behalf of a sick relative which prompted her to share lessons she learned with the public.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with medical consumer advocate Joyce Griggs, the developer of www.unitedstatesofhealthcare.com.

In the United States, our healthcare system is based on treatment, not prevention.

This episode is a follow-up to Season 4, Episode 5, where we met Tim Jobson. His company, Predictive Health Intelligence (PHI), takes a unique approach to identifying and monitoring MASLD patients using basic EHR data and analytics. This session explores PHI's work over the past years and considers implications for several liver-related health challenges. 00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 10Opening comments from the panel, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode. 00:02:04 - Introduction and GroundbreakerEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week.00:07:02 - New projects from TimTim discusses the three major activities that PHI has undertaken since our last visit.00:12:46 - Sequential testingRoger Green asks Tim to state one key lesson he would like to share with a global audience. Tim speaks of the value of sequential testing and the value of collecting data that will support this effort. 00:15:33 - Data governance and privacyLouise Campbell asks Tim about privacy issues and GDPR status for these types of basic health information. Tim states that the number of cases where patients have exhibited concerns when they learn the data is helping them get/stay healthier is virtually nil.00:22:31 - Most and least helpful data itemsTim states that "factual data" (e.g., lab tests) are more valuable than "coded data" reflecting a treater's point of view. 00:25:21 - Thoughts on patient gender and age In response to Louise's questions, Tim shares that his group creates separate analyses by gender, strongly prefers creating risk thresholds to "measures of normality and abnormality," and already is seeing a trend of patients needing MASLD care at younger ages. 00:30:23 - Differences between MASLD and HCVTim discusses some differences in the challenge of bringing in-need HCV patients into the healthcare system compared to in-need MASH patients. HCV patients tend to live at lower socio-economic status, and some who lead high-risk lives may be homeless. MASH patients are more likely simply to lack knowledge and more likely to come to a physician visit once identified. 00:38:38 - Specific challenges in the USIn response to Roger's questions, Tim identifies two differences in the US today: greater clinician motivation due to Rezdiffra coming to market and a greater need for an inexpensive way to target the right patients and then track whether the drug appears to be working.00:41:49 - Keeping data import simpleTim comments that these kinds of activities are challenging enough when data sets and needs are fit to goal and fairly simple, let alone if researchers or policymakers inflate the dataset unnecessarily. This is particularly important because the system can probably locate so many untreated patients using simple data. 00:47:18 - Seeking high-value patients more effectively and final questionLouise and Tim consider what might be the "sweet spot" when patients are ill enough to appreciate that they need treatment but still hardy enough that therapy has time to work. From there, Roger asks a final question about how all stakeholders can contribute to the goal of aggregating large-scale basic sequential data.00:52:52 - Question of the WeekThe question asks what help listeners' organizations or others like them can offer in providing data or otherwise helping enrich data sources for assessing the value of repeat measures. 00:53:37 - Business ReportThis week's news on audience metrics, post-Rezdiffra episode ideas and this week's Vault conversation.

Joseph Schneier is CEO of Trusty.care, connecting sales, marketing, and member engagement for 150m Americans that receive insurance through Medicare, Medicaid, or Marketplace plans. The company provides an enterprise SaaS solution to the country's most direct-to-consumer health insurance sector. Joseph says that most insurtech founders do not have personal experience in this space but that it has a disfragmented distribution network and many similar challenges as the private insurance sector.  Just as a refresher, Medicare's coverage is 85% for people over the age of 65 and 15% for people living with chronic conditions, Medicaid covers low-income individuals and marketplace plans or Obamacare Plans that primarily focuses on small businesses or people who work for one.   These plans comprise a whopping 150m Americans or almost half the country's population, making the US one of the largest socialized, government-connected healthcare systems in the world. Although the government is the payer, most of the underlying plans are in turn managed by private insurers (think Aetna, Humana) and marketed through TV ads. Joseph previously built and exited companies in the education space and is now applying the same lessons to the healthcare space. Mr. Schneier has been at the forefront of innovations in global and domestic education, government, value-based healthcare, and insurance technology for over 20 years. He has built companies and products studying value-based care with complex populations, co-founded and exited two companies, and is a Fellow at Columbia University's MBA Entrepreneurial Program. He continues to focus on care for older Americans and has founded two other companies in this space—Cinematic Health, which trains CNAs, Home Health Aides, and Personal Care Assistants, and BellAge a company working with Area Agencies on Aging on longevity initiatives.

Forty years ago, the idea that HIV would shift from a terminal illness to a chronic manageable disease was almost unthinkable. In recent years, another health crisis, COVID-19, much like HIV, was wrought with fear, stigma, and misinformation. In honor of World AIDS Day, we'll discuss key terminology, misconceptions, and advancements in HIV, including U=U undetectable equals untransmittable, the life-changing impact of current treatments and medical breakthroughs, and how science has prepared us with tools to navigate future pandemics. Joining us in this conversation is Michael Saag, MD, physician and prominent HIV/AIDS researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of Positive: One Doctor's Personal Encounters with Death, Life, and the US Healthcare System. This episode is dedicated to people living with and affected by HIV and those who lost their lives to AIDS.

Whether you place the blame on wonky demand curves or misaligned incentive structures, there's no getting around it: the massive U.S. healthcare system just isn't delivering on its $4.3 trillion investment. Is it time for a medical Manhattan Project? In this special episode, Justin is joined by Jonathan Bush, founder and CEO of Zus Health, and Robert Musslewhite, Definitive Healthcare CEO, to debate the future of the US healthcare system – what's broken and who has what responsibility to fix it. Justin, Jonathan, and Robert discuss who's really at-fault – is it the government, the payors, or the healthcare systems themselves? One thing's for sure: it's not the patient's fault – or is it? They debate ideas for aligning payors, providers, employers, and patients. And they discuss the industry's long, winding, and never-ending road to IT interoperability, and why that interoperability might not be the panacea that so many people think it could be. Justin, Robert, and Jonathan openly wonder whether Meaningful Use and the “EMR-ification” of American healthcare was successful or not, and analyze how the emerging era of virtual care is going to change healthcare as we know it. At the end of their discussion, Jonathan lays out his vision for the hospital of the future – one that doesn't even require a physical building to operate.

Despite new measures taken to ensure that depositors are able to get money from troubled banks, upsets in the stock market and problems threatening regional banks suggest the crisis isn't over. Meanwhile, Republicans are calling for U.S. military action against the drug cartels, and the Mexican government is threatening to launch an information war against the lawmakers on American soil if they don't back down.
