The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It actually makes more money if more people are sick.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The hospitals.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Well, I mean, think of it this way.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

If you're Lloyd's of London, do you want one ship?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And you're insuring all the ships in the ocean.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Do you want one ship to sink a year or do you want a thousand to sink?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

If a thousand sink, everybody's going to be paying you premiums to insure themselves against that eventuality.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And you're making money on the friction.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

So you're making the money that comes into this.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

You're making your money on the money that comes to the system.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

So the more that you pump up that volume of money, the more you make.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

So, you know, nobody is interested.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Nobody is economically incentivized to make people well.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And we are not going to get well until we align those economic incentives with the health outcomes that we want, which is nobody gets sick.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

We end the chronic disease epidemic.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And that's what we're doing now.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

We're trying to realign all those perverse incentives.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

For example, the medical system pays out

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

on fee-based service.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

That means at the more tests the doctor orders for you, the more drugs he prescribes you, the more contact he has with you, the richer he gets.
