Independent physician practices are facing an uphill battle in an era where hospitals are growing increasingly larger.
With their vast resources and extensive networks, hospitals often hold a considerable advantage when it comes to negotiating contracts with insurance companies and leveraging economies of scale.

Congress’s failure to raise the debt limit has brought the US perilously close to default. Republicans have insisted on major cuts to federal spending –including in healthcare—in exchange for their votes. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy worked out an agreement in principle, which gives in, at least partially, to the GOP demands while preserving Democratic priorities.
So, what’s the impact of the debt ceiling deal on healthcare? Will the deal have a real impact or is it all just smoke and mirrors?

The US is often called a free market health care system. But Medicare and Medicaid are the biggest insurers, and the government pays for about half of all healthcare. The private sector is getting the message, with some big players –like Humana—ignoring private customers altogether.

In this episode of CareTalk, John and David share how they feel about the government being the main customer for healthcare.

Value based care is a great idea, at least in theory. It’s cheaper and better than fee for service. But uptake is slow because incentives are hard to align, available data and analytics aren’t up to the task, it takes too long for providers to be rewarded, and payers and providers just don’t trust one another.
With all these challenges, can value based care succeed? Clarify Health CEO, Jean Drouin, joins CareTalk to explain why the answer is a resounding YES!
