Healthcare in America is a mess. Costs are so high they’re the top reason people go bankrupt. Meanwhile, 1.7 million die each year from chronic diseases we could prevent. Why? Big food, Pharma, and insurance companies profit off sickness, not health. In my latest podcast with Brigham Buhler, we dug into this mess and found ways to fight back. Want to know how to fix a broken healthcare system? Let’s break it down—starting with what’s wrong and ending with what you can do.

The Problem: A System Built to Keep You Sick
Our healthcare system isn’t about keeping you well—it’s about making money. Big food pumps out junk like soda and cereal that make us sick. Then, Pharma sells drugs to treat symptoms, not fix the root cause. Insurance companies, with their pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), jack up drug prices and deny care to cash in. Together, they form a cycle that keeps chronic disease—and their profits—rolling.
For example, insurance companies like United Healthcare made $370 billion last year, with 60% from PBMs. They charge you $10 for a drug like metformin but pay pharmacies just $2, pocketing the rest. It’s a scam that’s killing people.
How to Fix a Broken Healthcare System: Expose the Corruption
To fix this, we first need to see the truth. Insurance companies use tricks like “deny, delay, depose.” They deny 37% of claims (90% unjustified at United), delay care with months-long waits, and fight hospitals in court to pay less. Pharma’s no better—Bayer once tested drugs on Nazi camp victims and shipped HIV-tainted drugs in the 80s, all for profit. Big food pushes addictive junk, and the FDA lets harmful stuff like Red Dye 3 slide because it’s “generally safe.” Behind it all? Companies like BlackRock own stakes in food, Pharma, and insurance, pulling strings for profit.
How to Fix a Broken Healthcare System: Take Control of Your Health
You can’t wait for the system to save you—it won’t. Here’s how to fight back:
-
Get Proactive: Skip insurance traps. Use cash-pay clinics like Ways to Well for tests like fasting insulin (aim for under 5, not the crazy “normal” 22), DEXA scans (check muscle, fat, bones), and VO2 Max (heart health). It’s about $600 a year—way cheaper than bankruptcy.
-
Use an HSA: Put pre-tax dollars in a Health Savings Account. Spend it on real food (steak, not soda) or gym memberships. Push for HSAs to cover more prevention.
-
Eat Smart: Avoid processed junk. Single-ingredient foods like meat and fruit are your medicine. Freeze-dried organs might even repair your body with microRNAs—science is wild!
How to Fix a Broken Healthcare System: Hope on the Horizon
There’s light ahead. Stem cells (really signaling cells) can heal you like you’re young again by fixing damaged cells. AI tools, like “Allen” at Ways to Well, can map your health risks and meal plans. Leaders like RFK Jr. might shake up the FDA and NIH to focus on prevention, not profits. Ohio saved $360 million by ditching PBMs—imagine that nationwide! If we keep pushing, we could see a golden age of health.
Conclusion
The healthcare system’s broken because it’s built to profit off sickness. But you don’t have to play their game. By exposing the corruption and taking charge with tools like cash-pay tests and smart eating, you can beat it. How to fix a broken healthcare system starts with you—get proactive, get informed, and let’s demand change together. What’s your next step?
