How are insurance companies profiting from the opioid crisis?
Never once have you heard an insurance company brought up in all of the opioid crisis. 30% of the profits generated during the opioid crisis went to the insurance companies.
Now, why is this legal?
It shouldn't be. That's the point. They're getting money on every drug that you're prescribed. Imagine the amount of revenue being generated by these insurance companies by screwing me and you and families on these medications.
We've all heard the usual suspects when it comes to talking about the problems in health care. Big pharma, the food industry, all the chemicals we're exposed to. But there's one major player that often slips under the radar in these conversations. Health insurance. We're pulling back the curtain on an industry that profits off of illness and make sure you stay sick for as long as possible. It's time to talk about the insurance Ponzi scheme and we have the perfect guest to help us expose it all. Brigham Bueller is my friend and also a healthcare entrepreneur who is on a mission. to completely dismantle and rebuild America's broken healthcare system. From his beginnings as a pharma drug rep, Brigham saw firsthand the devastating effects of a system that puts profits above people.
This drove him to become the founder of Ways to Well, ReviveRx Pharmacy, and BioReach. You may have already heard Brigham as a two-time guest on Joe Rogan, where he laid out his vision for a healthier, more transparent healthcare system. He's also someone that I had the privilege of testifying with at the United States Senate last September. alongside RFK Jr., calling for urgent reform. Today, we're diving deep into the issues with our current healthcare system, and Brigham's going to help us understand the corruption we're up against and how we can begin to fix it.

Please welcome the founder of Ways Too Well, Brigham Bueller, to Culture Apothecary. Is it fair to point out that the more people seem to go to the doctor in the United States, the sicker they seem to get?
I mean, it definitely seems to be a common problem. Like, if we look at what the U.S. spends in healthcare, you know, we're number one in healthcare costs, but I think 60th overall in our overall health. You know, I mean, it's pretty bad. And the most recent statistics are, you know, 70 percent, 67 percent of adults are overweight. I mean, which is staggering. Yeah. 13 to 19 age demographic, though our children are over 30 percent are on the cusp of prediabetes. Like it's I mean, we're just chronically ill as a society. The system's definitely letting individuals, families, all of us down.
Well, and what's crazy is that we're so sick, what you're describing is like health is plummeting, and yet we're on an astronomical amount of medications per person in America. What is the average amount of medications an American's on right now?
Yeah, the average American's on four or more medications, four or more prescription medications.
And how does that compare to the rest of the world?
It's way higher than the rest of the world. And we also fit the bill for most of the innovation of healthcare, which is a problem in itself because so many people go, well, meds are expensive in America because we fund the innovation. Most of the innovation is funded through taxpayer dollars via the NIH. A lot of people don't understand that. So we're fitting the bill to identify compounds that are promising for driving health span and preventing chronic disease and all these things is where the money should be applied. But instead, our money is getting applied towards treating symptomology. And so the NIH is looking at studies that are driven by who? Big Pharma. And Big Pharma asked the NIH, look at these compounds.
