US Healthcare Desperately Needs To Be A Free Market | with Dean Jargo

from Self-Funded · host Spencer Smith

“That's the great thing about upfront, all inclusive, transparent specialty care is you eliminate all of that, right? You purchase the service, you never see another bill from it again. You're done." - Dean Jargo Dean Jargo, CEO of Fair Market Health, joined me this week to share why US healthcare desperately needs to be a fair market. We talked about what that means and why it requires us to construct a new healthcare ecosystem, how it enables patients to actually receive better care at a lower price point, and how it can work in conjunction with employer benefits to create a more effective system for employers, employees, and providers. Join us this week on Self-Funded with Spencer as we talk the big-picture future of healthcare!
