“Retired from the “benefits” business having worked different facets. Dan is bringing up angles and ideas that are extremely innovative and effective. He is uncovering areas that need antiseptic light I have seen as abusive and others that I only suspected were malfunctioning and craven.
Don’t accept “single payer” solutions as the ultimate “fix-it,” but can see that perhaps only the Federal government is hefty enough to line up and reorganize the many, many players (among whom are many right minded and right performing entities sprinkled throughout... as is life... with bad actors... PBMs! I am looking at you!)
At times a bit naive in broad brush strokes, for example, in assigning insurance companies and the like as heartless profit mongers, but even as I disagree to some extent, I accept that as the water temperature of the discussion.
Hoping to see some practical solutions coming from innovative self funded benefit plans. They are imperfect but the crucible of effective real solutions in the car and mouse of health care.
Essentially, this podcast is overdue and impressive. My somewhat inside experience makes me appreciate it that much more.
Very worthwhile podcast!”
