Episode 23: The Broken Health Care System

In this powerful three-part podcast special, host Nicholas O. Biasotto, DO, takes listeners on a deep dive into the systemic flaws crippling American health care. From the vanishing number of primary care physicians and the mounting burdens that push them out, to the complex—and often opaque—ways hospitals and insurance companies generate revenue, this episode pulls back the curtain on a system in crisis.

Dr. Biasotto unpacks the forces behind physician burnout, the hospital profit machine, and how insurance companies are impacting both patients and physicians. With real-world examples, emerging legislative efforts, and potential paths forward, this is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt frustrated or confused by our health care system.
