The Modern US Health Care System is Broken

It’s no secret that the health care system in the US is dysfunctional.

Read more about the rise in institutions focused on the bottom line, which prioritizes profits over people.

Profits Over People

Big Medicine’s most powerful entities (insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) formulate health care policy to enrich themselves at the expense of patients.

Cookie-Cutter Plans

To control costs, health care providers often offer treatment plans that are standardized for specific diagnoses. This approach lacks personalization and can hinder a patient’s access to effective treatments.

Misaligned Priorities

Cookie-cutter plans are more focused on cost control, and incentives to choose more expensive treatments do not have the patient's best interest in mind.

The Disconnect

» What Big Healthcare Promises

Institutional Backing and Experience

The consolidation and corporatization of healthcare have led to massive institutions.

They want you to believe that sheer size equates to experience and expertise.

» What Patients Actually Get

More Complicated Red Tape

As large medical institutions have expanded, the transition to a more corporate culture has resulted in the creation of countless departments, administrators, paperwork, and processes.

Patients and medical providers alike are now inevitably subject to an abundance of red tape and bureaucracy, making the health care journey more complicated than it needs to be.

» What They Promise

Cutting-Edge, Specialized Treatments

Historically, large healthcare institutions (like Harvard or Johns Hopkins) marketed the latest cutting-edge, specialized treatments as only available in-person, making those treatments largely inaccessible to most people.

» What You Get

Fewer Choices, Pushed to Their Preferred Solution

As a way of controlling costs, large institutions use their size to negotiate favorable rates for treatments. These institutions’ employees may also be compensated (incentivized) based on how expensive a treatment is.

This results in a system focused more on dollars - and pushing preferred solutions - rather than selecting the patient’s best treatment course.

» What They Promise

Relief

They promise relief, but it will ultimately be provided on their terms.

» What You Get

Relief, But You're Going to Wait

Most physicians do want to help their patients. Unfortunately, big medicine makes this challenging.

These big institutions are typically understaffed (again, in the interest of controlling costs and driving profits) but designed to try and service as many patients as possible.

The result is that each patient becomes a tiny fish in a huge pond.
