From Care to Commerce: The Business of Modern Medicine

from Life Death & the Law · host Deason Garner & Hansen

We often wonder why healthcare feels so impersonal and expensive today. In this episode, we explore the massive shift from independent doctors to corporate employees. Attorney Adam Hansen and Dr. Ron Clark discuss how insurance companies have consolidated power , why hospitals now "gobble up" private practices , and the ethical conflict when a doctor’s loyalty shifts from the patient to the entity signing their paycheck. This is a deep dive into the economics of why your doctor’s visit has changed over the last 20 years.Want to schedule an appointment?Visit https://deasongarnerlaw.com or call (928) 783-4575Follow Deason Garner & Hansen: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/JGzv42UBzXoLmQQF/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dghlawfirm?igsh=am43eGkxYWN2cG11
