The Solution to the Sickcare System
About this episode
The episode discusses the flaws in the current healthcare system and introduces the Lifespan Model as a potential solution.

Incentives are misaligned across the entire industry, from insurance companies and employers to doctors and digital health startups. Despite technological advances, healthcare costs continue rising while population health declines. In this episode, Aneil, a scientist, investor, and systems thinker, introduces a bold alternative: the Lifespan Model. Drawing on experience in biotechnology, Silicon Valley startups, digital health investing, and incentive design, Aneil explains how healthcare could be rebuilt around the simple idea that people should be rewarded for keeping others healthy. Instead of replacing the current system overnight, the Lifespan Model proposes a parallel structure, one that aligns financial incentives with longevity, prevention, and long-term wellbeing.
