Welcome to Relentless Health Value, the podcast for those working in the belly of the beast to fix our fundamentally broken healthcare system. If you are a self-insured employer, plan sponsor, benefits consultant, clinician, a C-suite executive or anyone in the business of healthcare tired of the 'transformational theater' and marketing fluff, you have found your tribe. The U.S. healthcare system isn't a rational market; it's a game of Pachinko where perverse incentives reign, and as we always say, where there's mystery, there's margin. Hosted by Stacey Richter, we relentlessly hunt down the administrative 'inches' of waste and expose the hidden fees draining the $5.6 trillion healthcare sector. We transform wonky healthcare theory into ruthlessly practical, actionable insights. Whether it's demanding radical transparency, navigating complex PBM contracts, or buying actual healthcare instead of illusory discounts, our mandate is simple: If it results in a net positive for patients, we do it. Join the Relentless Health Value Tribe to equip yourself with the fiduciary armor needed to outwit the status quo, demand accountability, and drive real change. more

The Truth About Healthcare (with a shot to dull the pain). Doctors are frustrated. Patients are frustrated. And none of us can get a straight answer on how to make it better … like, really make it better … honestly, we really need to make it better … because it could drive you to drink . . . Cue 43cc. A bi-weekly podcast that exposes how doctors really feel about healthcare in America, 43cc offers raw (and often irreverent) insider knowledge to help patients, and fellow healthcare practitioners, look 'behind the curtain'. Through exposing some hard truths (while imbibing some not-so-soft drinks) 43cc aims to break the stigma, fill gaps, and lower frustration levels for patients and providers. Hosts Wendy Dean, MD and Matt Ramsey, MD bring together decades of knowledge, experience, and an uncanny ability to mesh intricate medical expertise with skillfully used profanity. We'll uncover a wide range of topics like electronic medical records, prior authorization, consolidation, corporatization, bureaucratic bs, shareholder primacy, private equity, and other nonsense that makes our heads hurt and our patients suffer. Dr. Wendy Dean practiced emergency medicine and psychiatry, was instrumental in developing the US Army's hand and face transplant research program, and was an executive in a half-billion dollar nonprofit. She gave that all up when the challenges of getting high quality healthcare nearly cost her physician husband his life. She is now the leading voice for reframing health worker distress to include moral injury, and is the author of, If I Betray These Words. Dr. Matt Ramsey is a board-certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in shoulder & elbow conditions. He has a passion for patient care, education of the next generation of physicians and research. An extensive number of publications and invitational lectures solidify Dr. Ramsey as a key physician among his medical peers. Dr. Ramsey is an advocate for physician leadership in healthcare and believes that the solutions for the current issues in healthcare will emerge out of a partnership of patients and their providers. Join us for a drink, a rant, a laugh, and an open forum on solutions to healthcare's most pressing problems. The 43cc Podcast is produced by Jill Ruby. more

America has 3,300 local health departments. They are the backbone of our public health system, yet they are agencies most of us never think about. Until there's a crisis. They respond to disease outbreaks, inspect restaurants, ensure safe drinking water, and coordinate emergency responses. Yet their work remains invisible, their budgets are perpetually squeezed, and their authority is increasingly questioned.Host Michael Sparer traces how we built this fragmented public health infrastructure, from Constitutional debates to 1866 garbage collection to today's vaccine controversies. He examines why healthcare spending dwarfs public health investment, why public health agencies vary so dramatically from community to community, and why understanding this system matters for everyone.This isn't partisan politics. It's about the public health infrastructure that protects us every day. Who the health cares? We all should. more

On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was executed in broad daylight on a busy Manhattan street. The horrific act of violence shook the world, and as investigators searched for answers, public discourse turned to our broken medical system—where profit often comes before patients, impacting Americans of every stripe. Sick Care is a gripping investigative podcast about these systemic failures of the U.S. medical industry, and the tragic events that expose its deadly flaws. Stakeholders from across the political spectrum now recognize the unsustainable status quo. Every day, millions face an impossible choice: battle an unyielding bureaucracy for care or risk their lives waiting. Social media erupted with stories of heartbreak and preventable tragedies, reigniting urgent calls for change. Meanwhile, journalists raced to uncover the truth about the web of corporate influence that has shaped the industry for decades. For Adam Stone, publisher of The Examiner News , a small newspaper group in New York's Hudson Valley, the nation's wake-up call was a story he had already been investigating for two years. Since late 2022, his local investigative reporting on Optum, a UnitedHealth subsidiary, uncovered whistleblower allegations, personal accounts of mistreatment, and DOJ scrutiny—issues that would soon resonate on a national scale. Produced by No Smiling, Little Everywhere, and Examiner Media, Sick Care builds on Stone's reporting, with Peabody-winning audio producer Sean Cannon shaping an urgent, eye-opening narrative. Through exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and hard-hitting storytelling, Sick Care exposes the human cost of a system designed to deny care and profit off illness—and also explores what we can do to treat the metastasizing disease.
