The Mega Factory of Healthcare
by Etan Walls
Lost in the healthcare maze?
Our system is not user-friendly.
If you fell sick, you go to the doctor. They prescribe medicine or suggest an operation. What could be easier?
The problem is, the system is not designed with the consumer in mind. Every time you go to the doctor, you are stepping into a world with a rule book all its own. Your family physician has to juggle insurance payments, competition from medical groups, and hospital networks all while providing a standard of care that is increasingly dictated by outsiders.
For those of us who get caught in the maze of the American healthcare system, there is no simple map to help us navigate the landscape.
Until now.
The Mega Factory of Healthcare will shed light on the practices of every medical group, doctor’s office, hospital and urgent care center in the country.
You’ll find out how to:
- Decipher the paperwork that comes after a doctor’s visit, (it’s not the bill that’s the important one)
- Understand how your doctors get paid, untangle the financial web and finally hear the truth behind surprise billing
- See the big picture, doctors, hospitals and private equity are interconnected in ways that affect all of us
The Mega Factory of Healthcare lays it all bare, exposing the truth behind our complicated healthcare system and the steps we can take to fix it.
