Empower Patients: A New Approach to Healthcare with Dr. Deane Waldman | Let People Prosper Show Ep. 158

What if we stopped pretending that insurance coverage equals care? In this week’s Let People Prosper Show, I’m joined by Dean Waldman, MD MBA—physician, policy expert, and my co-author of our recent book, Empower Patients: Two Doctors’ Cure for Healthcare. We tackle what’s truly broken in American healthcare: it’s not just the cost or complexity, but who holds the power. Spoiler: it’s not the patient. From Medicaid to Medicare, and private insurance to the ACA, the system we have today serves bureaucrats, insurers, and politicians, not the people receiving care. Dr. Dean and I break down why health care isn’t a right, why it is a service, and how we can return to patient-first solutions. If you’re ready to rethink how America does healthcare, this conversation is for you! For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.
