Massive, publicly traded financial services institutions, healthcare insurance companies.
You pay a monthly premium, they decide which care you get.
Publicly traded companies have one goal in mind, and that's to maximize shareholder value.
110 to 130 million Americans a year face some type of denial.
They might have said not medically necessary.
They might have said experimental or investigational.
Okay.
Feels like a David versus Goliath kind of situation here.
You have the law on your side, though, which is something they don't have.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Sure.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean I don't think anybody had intended for it to start and end up like it looks like today.
So back in the Great Depression, so almost 100 years ago, hospitals were struggling to get paid and consumers were struggling to afford health care or really anything at all.
So what a system down in Texas, Baylor, started doing was offering Dallas area teachers the ability to pay 50 cents a month for access to hospital services.
which was a win-win.
So it was a cheap access to care for teachers and the hospital system had predictable revenue.
Now, what it's turned into since then is really these massive publicly traded financial services institutions that call themselves healthcare insurance companies.
And so now what happens is you pay a monthly premium to one of these companies and then they decide which care you get, what care you get.
Now, that's problematic because publicly traded companies have one goal in mind, and that's to maximize shareholder value.
