One Body. Budget Accordingly. Dr. John Bender, MD on Direct Primary Care, the Insurance Illusion, and the Healthcare Truth Nobody Wants to Admit

from More than One Way to Live a Principled Life · host Dee Dee Vicino

Dr. John Bender has been practicing primary care in Fort Collins for decades — and he's got a question for you: why do we budget thousands of dollars a year for our cars, but fight the insurance system for every dollar spent on the one body we'll ever have? In this episode, Dr. Bender breaks down the broken logic behind how most Americans use health insurance, makes a compelling case for Direct Primary Care (DPC), and pulls back the curtain on the hospital consolidation driving costs through the roof. Dr. Bender is CEO of Miramont Wellness Centers (Fort Collins & Parker, CO) and will be featured on Dr. Drew's platform on April 12th. You're hearing from him first.DISCLAIMER: Any reference to a 'husband' in this podcast refers to my long-term partner with whom I cohabitate. We are not legally married.
