Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Dismantling The Health Insurance Ponzi Scheme | Brigham Buhler

We don't think you should be doing this. We don't think you have medical necessity. If you continue to pull comprehensive blood work, we will consider revoking your contract. This happened to thousands of doctors in Texas. They had to call me and go, hey, Brigham, I believe in what we're doing, but I'm not going to do this.

I can't risk my license in losing an insurance contract like UnitedHealthcare. It'll put me out of business.

Well, and that's where we go to deny and delay. Like the kid Luigi, you know, he made the comment, delay, deny, depose. And I explained this on Jillian, like, what do you mean by delay? Insurance companies are incentivized to delay and obstruct your ability to care. Now they're profiteering off of prescription medicines.

So they're okay with you going on a prescription drug because they're getting kickbacks on prescription drugs. But a surgical procedure costs them money. Something preventative is getting proactive and predictive to them. That's a budgetary issue.

If I'm an executive at UnitedHealthcare and I know that Alex is going to uncover that she has cancer, but I also know that Alex is going to be a different person's problem in 36 months because the average American switches jobs every two to three years. I am incentivized as an executive at an insurance company to not look under the hood.

I want you to be out of my system before something chronic develops that requires surgery or some big out of pocket expense. I'm okay covering your prescription drugs because I'm getting rebates and kickbacks on all those things. So if you're on four or more drugs, you're a cash cow for me. But if you go and have a big surgical procedure, you just cost me money. And so I put obstructions.

Well, they want to keep you, they don't want to spend money and they want to make money where they can and minimize expenses where they can. And there's money in you being chronically ill. There's money in selling you band-aids rather than healing wounds.

Again, what he did, crazy, zero justification for it. I'm not supporting or condoning it in any way. It's tragic and it's terrible. Anytime somebody, the loss of human life.
