We continue our deep dive into Claims, Health Insurance Cost and Care Denied, and why this is happening right now and follow up our previous discussion that premiered 12/26/24 https://youtu.be/tycXROkV6IQ.

It's quieted down since the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare, basically on traditional media, but it's it exploded on social media and with people like Taylor Lorenz and other people, CBS commentators talking about he either “deserved it” or “it's understandable”.

Shockingly, none of that is correct, but it's important to step behind those comments and look at the facts. I will start off with this little piece in the Wall Street Journal…

A deep dive into Claims, Health Insurance Cost and Care Denied, and why this is happening right now.

Today’s show is one that, I think needed to be done. And there are probably a lot of people who are not going to like some of the things I'm going to say, but it needs to be said.

I want to talk about the murder, the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare.

And I want to talk about where we're at in this country with what we're thinking and what we're doing, and how we're acting out on those thoughts.

Then, regarding healthcare in America, I'm going to talk about the actual problem that people are experiencing… because they are experiencing problems with getting coverage, with high cost, with care being denied and with care being delayed.

Then, after taking us through all of that, and I'm going to explain to you why that is happening. You might be surprised what you're about to learn. So let's get started.

Excerpt, Dr Daneshgari: "And the scientific evidence shows more harms, more hazards and that's why the medical errors have become the number three, cause of death in this country. And every time I say that, I get caught myself again being surprised that after cardiovascular disease, after cancer, medical errors are number three, cause of death!"

The Doctor is In!

He will show us a much better way. Better, affordable and healthier!

Excerpt: "The result of this realigned situation, this health care is that doctors, both primary care and the specialist, they do what they went to school to do. They went there to solve people's health problems. And doctors, I tell you, the listeners to this show, a significant number of them will be doctors because doctors are looking for solutions how to get out of this Sick Care System we have now."

In this episode we're going to talk about Bowtie Medical and the different product model that is being brought to market by Bowtie Health.

Our returning guest, Doctor Firouz Daneshgari is the CEO, founder and president of Bowtie Medical.

Here is what he says: "As you know, this show is post the election of President Trump and his, ambitious goals to change the direction America has taken. Right now we are spending 2 to 3 times more than the rest of the world on healthcare. I'll repeat that. We are spending over $13,000 per capita, per person, per year, compared to 4 to $6000 with Europeans and Japanese with much worse outcomes. So we have an expensive and and mispriced system.

We have the best technology. All we have to do is to redirect our efforts from a sick care to a health care." The Dr will also explain a phenomenon called Longevity Escape Velocity and much more about Health Guardianship as an alternative that delivers high-quality care and guards you from the unnecessary care being prescribed in the current “sick care” system..

Today we have a discussion on national health care that is fascinating and will blow your mind with a doctor we call Dr Bowtie.

My expert guest is Dr. Firouz Daneshgari, MD, MBA, FPMRS, FACS

Dr. Daneshgari: “Our eyes are very open to this concept that 50%, more than half of what is done in our hospital based system is a waste. That is why it is a Sick Care based system. Not only do we want to eliminate the waste to save the money in your pocket and your insurance money, but also a good portion of this unnecessary care causes actual harm!

Instead, you'll have 24 seven access to this dedicated group of doctors and nurses not only to help you to navigate the maze of health care, but to also proactively look after the health risks you have.

To fix this, we provide the Bowtie Health Guardianship model that will be embedded within a health plan, benefit, health benefit that is offered to the employer. So we intentionally are focusing on the employer segment of the market because the employers, to me, are the cylinders of the production of the GDP.”

Our guest is Dr Firouz Daneshgari, who has this most unique idea, worked for 30 years inside health systems seeing first hand how care decisions were made based on the financial interests of hospitals and not the patients.

"In the US, we have created the sick care system, the system that benefits from our people being sick. And the reason for that is that their health care is delivered through 5000 financial institutions called hospitals".

Our guest is Dr Firouz Daneshgari, who has a most unique idea. He is someone who's really experienced what it's like on the inside of National Health Care systems and he has an incredible plan to make our health care system, and our citizens healthy.

I think once you hear him for a few minuts, you'll be hooked. I was!

This is season 20, episode 31
