About this episode

The episode explores the profit-driven business model of healthcare, discussing issues like unnecessary tests and insurance denials.

I delve into expanding diagnoses, unnecessary tests, price inflation, insurance denials, and the sick model. I shed light on the broader scope of the problem.
