Treating the Individual with Methods that Work for Them
With the lack of movement in Congress to fix Obamacare, Dr. George wants to recap ways to take our healthcare back. Ralph Weber CEO of MediBid joins the show to explain how to take back the power of cost in healthcare. Ralph was inspired to build MediBid because of family members who were injured by waiting for Canada’s SinglePayer lists.
The costs have skyrocketed during the implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act. The price gouging from hospitals. All the extra administrative costs The fancy upgrades. The amount of waste in healthcare is astounding. Many Americans think there is a correlation in cost to the quality of healthcare and that always isn’t the case. Sometimes doctors aren’t as efficient or thorough as other doctors and that can drive up the costs for them to do procedures. Medibid looks into the quality over costs and takes many factors in an account for finding the right doctors.
