#38 I Wish I Would Have Known Insurance Wasn’t Built for Your Health

What if the system you trust to take care of your health… isn’t actually designed to? In this Wish I Would Have Known episode, Dr. Steffany Mohan shares a powerful perspective from nearly 30 years in dentistry and a household deeply rooted in medicine. Her biggest realization? The moment healthcare providers partnered with insurance companies, the priorities shifted—and not in favor of the patient. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how insurance models actually work, why they often conflict with quality care, and what that means for both providers and patients. If you’ve ever felt frustrated navigating healthcare costs, coverage, or care decisions—this episode will give you a new lens.
