The Dr. Phil Podcast

The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson revealed two horrific aspects of American life: A healthcare executive was shot dead, and because he was a healthcare executive, people cheered. Why? Because many feel our health system is broken. Tonight, Dr. Phil explores how a fractured health care system has affected American lives. Angela says after her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer, their health insurance company refused to cover a necessary procedure to save his life. Kay was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35, and she never imagined she’d spend 10 years trying to get health insurance to approve needed treatments. Brigham Buhler worked a pharmacy rep for Ely Lilly, but left the industry when he could see how companies prioritized profits over patient access to life savings medications. He now has his own healthcare company, Ways2Well, focusing on prevention.  Dr. Bill Hennessey worked as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician for years, dealing with frustrated patients who were given delays and denials from health insurance companies. He left to create his own company, Careguide, to help others navigate the healthcare system.
