About this interview:

Dr Bob Gill NHS GP of 22 years, activist and producer of “The Great NHS Heist”. The movie was made at great personal expense in time and money, crowd funding £40000 and self paying an additional £20000. Bob is passionate about the NHS and universal publicly provided and available healthcare. Bob is also critical of the direction the NHS has been travelling over the last few decades, with mismanagement, waste, corruption and destruction of the doctor patient relationship. Bob highlights the increasing control of Big Pharma and the Medical Industrial Complex on the NHS and the failure (collusion) of health institutions to safeguard patients. This is a must listen conversation (like all my podcasts - wink). Enjoy and as ever love to you all x ​ Links - Twitter

Nonprofit hospitals — which make up around half of hospitals in the United States — were founded to help the poor.

But a Times investigation has revealed that many have deviated from those charitable roots, behaving like for-profit companies, sometimes to the detriment of the health of patients.

Guest: Jessica Silver-Greenberg, an investigative business reporter for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• With the help of a consulting firm, the Providence hospital system trained staff members to wring money out of patients, even those eligible for free care.
• Dozens of doctors have said that this New York nonprofit hospital pressured them to give preferential treatment to donors, trustees and their families.
• Bon Secours Mercy Health, a major nonprofit health system, used a poor neighborhood to tap into a lucrative federal drug program.

Background reading:

• At the peak of New York’s pandemic, patients at some community hospitals were three times more likely to die than were patients at medical centers in the wealthiest parts of the city.
• The story of a $52 million temporary care facility in New York illustrates the missteps made at every level of government in the race to create more hospital capacity.

In this episode, Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins surgeon and NYT bestselling author, discusses his ambitious attempt to fix the broken U.S. healthcare system through educating the public, changing the lexicon, encouraging radical transparency in pricing, and more. We go in detail into the main drivers of inflated health care costs, the money games being played making it hard to understand, and the unfortunate system structure that has resulted in one in five Americans finding themselves in medical debt collections which can ruin the lives of people and families seeking basic medical care. Marty also shares some very practical advice and tips if you find yourself a victim of predatory pricing and stuck with an outrageous medical bill. In the end, despite the current state of the system, Marty discusses the many exciting trends gaining traction in healthcare and why he is very optimistic and hopeful about the future.

• Exciting trends in healthcare and an optimistic view of the future [1:11:30];
  
• The Price We Pay (Marty’s new book), an attempt to illuminate the blackbox that is the US healthcare system [1:21:00];
  
• Why it’s not always in the best interest of the insurance company to negotiate the best price [1:28:30];
  
• Who is actually paying for medical costs, and Marty’s frustration with the healthcare lexicon [1:32:00];
  
• Pros and cons of a single payer system [1:37:00];

• Disrupting the healthcare industry with private healthcare facilities with market demanded transparency [2:05:45];
  
• The people hurt the worst by the current US healthcare system, the sad breast cancer statistic, and the importance of knowing that medical bills are negotiable [2:09:30];
  
• The healthcare industry bubble [2:14:00];
  
• Increased costs from unnecessary tests and procedures [2:16:30];
