Episode #190: Sick Care VS. Health Care: How Doctors are Incentivized to Keep You Sick

Joel exposes the dark underbelly of the medical industry, revealing how doctors and hospitals are incentivized to prioritize profits over your health. We unpack the little-known RAFS system and how it influences your medical costs, plus discuss shocking predictions about health insurance companies possibly capping services by 2030. 

On a brighter note, we dive into the intriguing characteristics of blue zones—the regions where people thrive to 100 or beyond—and banter about some flaws in the study. It's a lively, thought-provoking conversation you don’t want to miss!
