From the classrooms of Lebanese American University to hospital leadership in the United States, Mazen Samadishares an honest, insightful journey across healthcare systems. In this episode, we explore what it takes to transition from Lebanon to the U.S., how the role of pharmacists has evolved into clinical and leadership domains, and where American healthcare is headed—from AI and value-based care to burnout and access. A must-listen for students, pharmacists, physicians, and healthcare professionals navigating global careers—and for anyone thinking about the future of healthcare in Lebanon and beyond.

From new vaccine guidance to nutrition policy to AI, the health care industry is already navigating massive change in 2026. New York Times health care reporter Sarah Kliff joins Rapid Response to break down major shifts reshaping American health — including new vaccine recommendations, an updated food pyramid, the continued rise of GLP-1 drugs, and OpenAI's Health GPT. Kliff explains why these changes matter far beyond hospitals and clinics, and why leaders across sectors should be paying close attention as health care, technology, and policy collide.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For those who had hoped the New Year might usher in a period of renewed calm in American policy and politics, this first week has been yet another profound disappointment. Topping the list of worrisome developments was President Donald Trump's decision to use U.S. military personnel to arrest the president of Venezuela Niclas Maduro and his wife. Trump's action to decapitate the leadership of a sovereign nation and quote “run” the oil rich country going forward has prompted protests and deep concern across the nation and the world about violations of international law and the U.S. Constitution. And one of the many American elected officials to voice such concerns has been North Carolina Fourth District Congresswoman Valerie Foushee. As Newsline learned in a recent extended interview, Foushee is strongly opposed to putting armed forces personnel in jeopardy in service of another nation-building exercise that she views as unlawful. We examined several other subjects, including the the failure of Foushee's GOP colleagues in Congress to renew federal subsidies for Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, the un-American actions of ICE and border patrol agents, the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 insurrection and President Trump's pardon of numerous perpetrators. Click here to listen to the full interview with North Carolina Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04) Editor’s note: NC Newsline’s interview with Foushee was conducted prior to the fatal shooting in Minneapolis by an ICE agent that has ignited nationwide protests. 

In this episode,  Scott Becker outlines the eight biggest issues shaping U.S. healthcare as the industry heads into 2026, including physician shortages, rising costs, payer power, and more.

AI can't fix what the healthcare system fundamentally gets wrong. In this episode, Liam Donohue, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at 406 Ventures, shares why his firm is betting on value-based care—and why AI risks breaking the system if applied to the wrong incentives. From launching EdTech's earliest funds to shaping 406 Ventures' sector focus in healthcare, cybersecurity, and infrastructure, Liam offers hard-won lessons in disciplined investing, operator-first teams, and systemic transformation. Key highlights: Why fee-for-service economics undermine care innovation How value-based care reshapes both incentives and outcomes The real reason AI is booming in revenue cycle management Lessons from WelbeHealth: rethinking elder care and payments Liam's take on what makes a founder truly backable

Kevin Hall spent 21 years at the US National Institutes of Health and became known globally for his pioneering work on ultra-processed foods. In April he unexpectedly took early retirement, citing censorship under the Trump administration. Now he has co-authored a book with the journalist Julia Belluz that aims to bust myths and challenge wellness orthodoxy on everything from weight loss and metabolism to supplements and wearables. In this episode from October, Hall tells Ian Sample what he wants us all to understand about diet, exercise and weight loss, and what led to his departure from the job he loved.

In this episode, I break down what really happened during the recent government shutdown—and why it matters far beyond the headlines. I walk you through how the standoff between Republicans and Democrats over healthcare funding put millions at risk, and how the political maneuvering behind closed doors quietly determined the fate of those lives. From the targeted removal of Obamacare subsidies to deep cuts in Medicaid, I unpack how these policy choices translate into real-world consequences, including tens of thousands of preventable deaths.I also shed light on the lesser-known tactics lawmakers use to avoid accountability—like strategically assigning votes to retiring politicians or those far from reelection. And I grapple with the moral dilemma at the heart of this crisis: When one side is willing to let children go hungry or deny medical care to exert political pressure, how does a functioning democracy respond? It's a conversation about power, ethics, and the cost of political gamesmanship on human lives.In this episode, you will learn:(00:34) How the shutdown exposed the realities of U.S. healthcare politics(01:10) Why cutting Obamacare subsidies put millions at risk(02:00) How both parties pushed competing plans to reopen the government(02:55) Why eight Democrats crossed party lines at the decisive moment(03:40) How lawmakers hide behind “just enough votes”(04:05) How political timing shields certain legislators from backlash(05:15) The moral dilemma behind letting 50,000 people die vs. starving children(06:30) Why negotiating with political extremism mirrors dealing with a psychopath(07:45) How this same dynamic shows up in war and global conflict(08:20) What the end of the shutdown really means for public healthLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

In episode 495 titled 'Wait. Flip that. A Crazy Revelation I Had About Trying to Fix US Healthcare,' host Stacey Richter speaks with Dr. Mick Connors, an emergency room pediatrician and healthcare entrepreneur, about a groundbreaking insight into the US healthcare system.  They discuss the paramount need to flip the way healthcare costs and outcomes are measured: moving towards unit-level cost accounting and whole-patient or whole-community outcomes assessment. The episode delves into the fundamental pitfalls of the current healthcare structure, emphasizing the misalignment between cost aggregation and patient-level outcome measurements. They explore the challenges faced by physicians in the current system, the role of investor mindsets, and the importance of dyad leadership and mission-driven practices to improve overall healthcare value. === LINKS ===

PREVIEW — Joseph Sternberg — Contrasting U.S. Healthcare Innovation with European Availability Issues. Sternberg argues that while the American healthcare system suffers from significant financing inefficiencies and administrative complexity, the overall quality and availability of care remain "phenomenal" compared to Europeanhealthcare systems characterized by chronic access limitations and supply constraints. Sternberg documents that Europeconfronts a profound availability problem wherein healthcare resources are insufficient to meet aggregate patient demand, necessitating systematic rationing through extended wait times and treatment delays. Sternberg argues that Europeanpolicymakers must fundamentally reconsider resource allocation strategies to encourage innovation essential for generating superior economic and health outcomes supporting aging populations facing escalating chronic disease burdens. 1863 CHANCELORSVILLE HOSPITAL 

When host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael steps into Winchester Medical Center, she's greeted not only by a freshly rearranged office but by the unwavering enthusiasm of Chris Rucker, Chief Administrative Officer for Valley Health. Their lively conversation reveals what it takes to maintain a thriving healthcare workforce — especially in a profession where stress is high, expectations are higher, and compassion is non-negotiable. Award-Winning Employee Experience Valley Health has earned multiple national recognitions this year — including Forbes rankings for top healthcare employers and best-in-state workplaces. What makes those honors especially meaningful, Chris explains, is that the organization doesn't apply for them. Independent research firms survey employees directly, asking what it's really like to work there. The positive feedback validates Valley Health's commitment to its people — and reassures patients that they're being cared for by professionals who love where they work. Healthcare Takes a Village Chris passionately reminds Janet that everyone inside the Valley Health system is a caregiver — even those nowhere near an exam room. Construction crews repairing walls overnight. Environmental services teams polishing hallways while patients sleep. Security, valets, administrative staff, and tech support. With 6,200 employees across the region, the health system represents nearly every job imaginable — and each one contributes to patient well-being, comfort, and confidence. Taking Care of the People Who Care for Us Healthcare is one of the toughest professions — physically, emotionally, and mentally. So Valley Health invests intentionally in appreciation, recognition, and family support. From employee-of-the-month celebrations to family fun days with pumpkins and bounce houses, the system creates gathering spaces where relationships can grow outside clinical stress. And then there's the Turkey tradition. Every November, team members drive through with their families to receive a Thanksgiving turkey — a small perk with a big message. "It's about family," Chris says — acknowledging that work schedule disruptions affect entire households. In fact, CEO Mark Nantz has even worn a full turkey costume during past events, although one patient in the parking lot once thought he was a duck. Retention Through Relationships, Not Just Raises Janet notes that today's workforce isn't swayed by an extra dollar — they stay where they feel valued. Chris agrees, especially when speaking about younger staff, who are eager for: Skill development Career pathways Mentorship Advancement opportunities That is why Valley Health prioritizes education support, cross-training, and leadership development. "Thinking about what each individual employee type wants is part of what makes us a great employer," Chris explains. When "Not Feeling Safe" Is the Real Threat The darker side of healthcare? Abuse of providers. Chris shares that assaults, threats, and intimidation toward staff occur daily. It's an emotional blow to caregivers dedicated to helping others. Their "zero-tolerance" policy protects employees — and preserves a healthy workplace culture. Healthcare, he says, is a calling, but it shouldn't come with bruises. Hiring With Heart — and Strategy Valley Health is always recruiting — roughly 100 to 120 new hires a month — but staffing isn't just about filling shifts. It's about deliberately preparing for the community's future. Using a physician-needs assessment every three years, they analyze population changes, disease trends, service gaps, and resource sustainability.  That is precisely how new specialties enter the region, like Dr. Trimble Spitzer's fertility practice, which Chris says fills a long-standing gap in local care. Sourcing talent is also about making sure physicians — and their families — feel at home. Whether someone needs equestrian facilities for their child, a nearby mosque, or Croatian-speaking neighbors for aging parents — Valley Health handles those details, too. Safe Care, Advanced Tools For employees and patients alike, one foundational promise guides everything: "Valley Health only provides safe healthcare." To keep that promise, the system invests in the latest medical technologies — from robotic surgical systems to highly specialized imaging — ensuring that physicians can practice at the top of their license and patients receive the best possible outcomes. A Place You Want to Be — On Both Sides of the Bedrail Chris beams when he talks about the community. He raised his children here. He sees people move to the Valley specifically to work for the health system. And he loves looking out at new-employee orientation to find team members eager to serve. Because when someone lands in a hospital bed — often on one of the worst days of their life — the little things matter like a warm greeting, clear communication, timely updates, and a feeling of being seen. Patients may not understand clinical complexity — but they always remember how they were treated. There's a Role for Everyone You don't need a medical degree to be part of healthcare. High school diploma? Associate's degree? Master's? There is a Valley Health career for you. Interested listeners can visit https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/careers/ to explore openings. With hundreds of new roles coming in the next year, the door is wide open. A Culture Where Caregivers Feel Cared For As the conversation wraps, Janet thanks Chris for his insight — and he answers with the warmth of a leader who genuinely loves his team. From award-winning recognition to turkey suit laughter, Valley Health proves that exceptional patient care begins with exceptional people care.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews Matt Seefeld, CEO at MedEvolve, about the chaos and inefficiencies in the US healthcare revenue cycle. Matt shares how generative AI and a focus on human accountability can help providers achieve "zero touch" claims, reduce waste, and improve access to care, especially for small and rural hospitals. Four Key Takeaways: The Real Cost of Healthcare is Obscured (3:00)The US healthcare system lacks alignment between consumers, providers, and payers, making it nearly impossible to know the true cost of care. Administrative Waste is a Billion-Dollar Problem (04:01)Most providers touch claims multiple times, with 63% of those touches being wasted effort due to system inefficiencies and payer games. AI is a Tool, Not a Cure-All (31:50)While AI can automate and improve processes, more than half of claim errors still require human intervention, and technology alone won't solve systemic issues. Access to Care is Shrinking for Many Americans (24:00, 27:00)As costs rise and reimbursements fall, small and rural hospitals are closing, and more Americans are forced to seek care through emergency services or go without. Quote of the Show (31:50):"More than half—53%—of the errors that we see that humans have to get involved with come from AI solutions, so they're not smart enough yet." - Matt Seefeld Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

The US has effectively always suffered a physician shortage. Last year the AMA estimated a shortage of 86,000 by 2035. US policymakers have since 1965 addressed this problem by recruiting foreign born physicians (termed Foreign Medical Graduates or FMGs), mostly from Southeast Asia, largely India. Today FMEs, that account for 25-30% of the physician workforce, are disproportionately employed in Health Professional Shortage Areas or HPSAs in which there remains or persists a strong demand, e.g., HRSA recognizes over 7,500 primary care HPSAs. Nevertheless, Prof. Alam concludes stratifying our medical system can be interpreted in part as a cover up to a problem of long-term disinvestment in rural healthcare and minority health. Simply growing the work force has had, Prof Alam argues, both a minimal impact on the equitable distribution of US healthcare resources while intensifying global health inequalities resulting from substantial brain drain.Information about Prof. Alam's book is at: https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/53838/care-foreigners?srsltid=AfmBOopgVAOX_1s9S7NaIMoKsXgrUS2htC4_HaE0zTYDrfQJltnIpRK7.

GOP rats are slowly but surely abandoning the sinking Trump ship, and we have to ask:Will "Republican Lifeboats" once again successfully allow the MAGA/Tea Party faithful to escape accountability?We analyze Marjorie Taylor Greene's masterful deployment of the "Magic Words" to blame "both sides of the aisle," framing her slow-motion exit from the Trump pandemonium bandwagon as an act of high principle. She's the first and possibly best lifeboat builder of the post-Trump era, claiming victimhood to elevate herself into the media's "Serious Women with Powerful Voices."How does the media's insistence on the "Both Sides Do It" lie enable this political evasion, even when the stakes are life-and-death (see the US Healthcare system)?Join us as we connect the dots from ancient trauma to modern political evasion, and in the end have a laugh at David Brooks' ludicrous attempt to diagnose—and "Somehow" cure—Christian Nationalism with his own big, dumb, Both Sides Do It meatgrinder.All this and more on this week's Professional Left podcast.Warning: This episode is not safe for work.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

For more than 60 years, the United States has trained fewer physicians than it needs, relying instead on the economically expedient option of soliciting immigrant physicians trained at the expense of other countries. The passage of the Hart–Celler Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 expedited the entry of foreign medical graduates (FMGs) from postcolonial South Asia and sent them to provide care in shortage areas throughout the United States. Although this arrangement was conceived as temporary, over the decades it has become a permanent fixture of the medical system, with FMGs comprising at least a quarter of the physician labor force since the act became law. This cohort of practitioners has not been extensively studied, rendering the impacts of immigration and foreign policy on the everyday mechanics of US health care obscure. In The Care of Foreigners: How Immigrant Physicians Changed US Healthcare, Dr. Alam foregrounds global dynamics embedded in the medical system to ask how and why Asian physicians—and especially practitioners from South Asia—have become integral to US medical practice and ubiquitous in the US public imaginary. Drawing on transcripts of congressional hearings; medical, scientific, and social scientific literature; ethnographies; oral histories; and popular media, Dr. Alam explores the enduring consequences of postcolonial physician migration. Combining theoretical and methodological insights from a range of disciplines, this book analyzes both the care provided by immigrant physicians as well as the care extended to them as foreigners. Our guest is: Dr. Eram Alam, who specializes in the history of medicine, with a particular emphasis on globalization, race, migration, and health during the twentieth century. She is an assistant professor in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University.

For more than 60 years, the United States has trained fewer physicians than it needs, relying instead on the economically expedient option of soliciting immigrant physicians trained at the expense of other countries. The passage of the Hart–Celler Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 expedited the entry of foreign medical graduates (FMGs) from postcolonial South Asia and sent them to provide care in shortage areas throughout the United States. Although this arrangement was conceived as temporary, over the decades it has become a permanent fixture of the medical system, with FMGs comprising at least a quarter of the physician labor force since the act became law. This cohort of practitioners has not been extensively studied, rendering the impacts of immigration and foreign policy on the everyday mechanics of US health care obscure. In The Care of Foreigners: How Immigrant Physicians Changed US Healthcare, Dr. Alam foregrounds global dynamics embedded in the medical system to ask how and why Asian physicians—and especially practitioners from South Asia—have become integral to US medical practice and ubiquitous in the US public imaginary. Drawing on transcripts of congressional hearings; medical, scientific, and social scientific literature; ethnographies; oral histories; and popular media, Dr. Alam explores the enduring consequences of postcolonial physician migration. Combining theoretical and methodological insights from a range of disciplines, this book analyzes both the care provided by immigrant physicians as well as the care extended to them as foreigners. Our guest is: Dr. Eram Alam, who specializes in the history of medicine, with a particular emphasis on globalization, race, migration, and health during the twentieth century. She is an assistant professor in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University. She received her PhD in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania, and holds a BA and BS from Northwestern University and a MA from the University of Chicago.

Harvard Associate Professor of the History of Science Dr. Eram Alam has just published "The Care of Foreigners: How Immigrant Physicians Changed U.S. Healthcare." Her extensive research revealed that, over decades, foreign medical graduates (FMGs) have become a sizeable and stable part of the U.S. physician workforce--at least a quarter since 1965. Their presence has shaped aspects of healthcare delivery, especially in underserved areas. But also, their presence raises questions about responsibility: what does it mean for U.S. healthcare to be so dependent on immigrant labor? What are the costs--to the physicians, to their home countries--to the idea of "universal" or equitable care?

In this episode of The Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm unpacking the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)  and what its sweeping health care changes mean for real people and families. We'll dig into how this new legislation affects Medicaid coverage, Planned Parenthood funding, and low-income immigrants, plus what's changing for marketplace insurance subsidies and health savings accounts (HSAs). I'll also share key insights from an excellent healthinsurance.org article by Louise Norris, titled “One Big Beautiful Bill Act Brings Sweeping Changes to Health Coverage.” With her permission, I'll be reading excerpts from that piece and you can find the full article linked in the show notes. It's a must-read if you want a deeper understanding of how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) could reshape American health care and insurance coverage in the years ahead.   Also mentioned in this episode: 03:29  Health Care Provisions Overview 07:02  Medicaid Changes and Impacts 09:17  Planned Parenthood Funding 11:37  Subsidy Eligibility for Low-Income Immigrants 12:32  Impact of Subsidy Changes on Self-Employed 17:09  Health Savings Accounts and Marketplace Plans   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

This episode features Viren Shetty, Vice Chairman of Narayana Health, discussing how his father founded a cardiac surgery hospital in India 25 years ago that revolutionized healthcare delivery by applying manufacturing efficiency principles to drastically reduce costs while maintaining quality. The conversation explores how Narayana Health scaled from one cardiac center to 19 multi-specialty hospitals across India and one in the Cayman Islands by implementing supply chain optimization, standardization of care, physician specialization, and high-volume operations—enabling them to perform cardiac surgeries at a fraction of Western costs. Shetty discusses the challenges and opportunities of operating in India's largely out-of-pocket healthcare market, the hospital's expansion into insurance and primary care to become a fully integrated provider, their measured approach to AI adoption, and why their high-volume, efficiency-driven model wouldn't directly translate to the US healthcare system despite offering valuable lessons in operational excellence and cost reduction. (0:00) Intro(1:20) Founding and Growth of Narayana Health(2:48) Cost Reduction Strategies in Indian Healthcare(6:04) Challenges and Cultural Shifts in Standardization(8:16) Scaling and Expansion Bottlenecks(14:10) Impact of COVID-19 on Narayana Health(19:15) Medical Tourism and the Cayman Islands(23:03) High Patient Volume in Indian Hospitals(24:29) Exploring Healthcare Ecosystems(25:25) Automating Healthcare Administration(26:39) Challenges in US Healthcare(28:18) Innovative Healthcare Models(30:28) AI in Medicine(33:22) Driving Efficiency in Hospitals(37:48) Opportunities in Indian Healthcare(40:34) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has long been consumed by the neurological condition autism – what causes it, and whether there's a treatment. This week, Donald Trump took on the cause, making claims about acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol and paracetamol, that were dismissed outright by medical experts around the world. Jonathan Freedland speaks to Carter Sherman, the reproductive health and justice reporter at Guardian US, about when and why the obsession with autism became political

In this hard-hitting episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, we dive deep into the controversial healthcare proposal dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a sweeping plan backed by RFK Jr. that claims to overhaul the US healthcare system. But what's really behind this policy? And who stands to lose the most? Joined by Dr. Kaveh Hoda, gastroenterologist, podcaster, and advocate, we explore: The background and political motivations behind RFK Jr.'s healthcare agenda The devastating consequences of Medicaid cuts on low-income Americans, seniors, and people with disabilities How privatization and deregulation threaten the core of public healthcare Why Canadian listeners should view this as a cautionary tale—what's happening in the US could be a warning sign for Canada's own healthcare system

Count your days: US Healthcare Drama Nursing home Patients Kicked Out, Nurses & Doctors Laid Off

For three decades until 2020, US healthcare stocks generated roughly the same returns as the tech sector, and with much less volatility. Things have changed a lot since then as the tech sector has barreled ahead while healthcare has stagnated. In this special issue, we take a closer look at the many factors dragging down the healthcare sector to among the lowest relative valuations of the last 30+ years, and some possible catalysts for a rebound. To conclude, the latest in the battle over publicly funded US scientific research. View video here
