Podcast Feature - How Big Pharma, Lobbyists, and Insurance Companies Broke American Healthcare

I want to extend my sincere thanks to David Watson for inviting me to join him on The David Watson Podcast for an important discussion about the state of American healthcare and my new book, Failure to Treat: How a Broken Healthcare System Puts Patients and Practitioners at Risk.

Our conversation touched on some of the most pressing issues facing medicine today, from the powerful influence of pharmaceutical and insurance companies, to the growing burden placed on physicians, and ultimately, the impact all of this has on patients.

For decades, I’ve witnessed how good intentions and brilliant innovation can be overshadowed by bureaucracy, profit motives, and politics. In Failure to Treat, I wanted to tell the human side of that story, through real experiences of doctors and patients who’ve been caught in the system, and to begin a conversation about how we can make healthcare work the way it was meant to: for healing, not profit.

I’m deeply grateful to David for giving me the platform to share these insights and for helping bring greater awareness to the systemic issues that must be addressed if we hope to build a better, fairer, and more compassionate healthcare system.
