  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Community Movement Podcast, where we uncover the truth about healthcare and insurance, advocating for a return to their roots—when healthcare and insurance were community-centered and designed to uplift everyone. Over time, strategic marketing and corporate spin have shifted the community-first model into a profit-first industry, leaving individuals, families, and businesses to pick up the pieces. This podcast offers a fresh perspective on the for-profit health insurance system, exposing how it often prioritizes revenue over well-being while offering actionable solutions for individuals and communities to build a fairer, more effective system. We explore financial literacy and healthcare pricing reform, empowering you to identify high-value insurance plans that put you back in control of your healthcare and finances. Through real-world case studies and expert insights, we highlight the financial and health consequences of current insurance practices and show how community-focused alternatives can lead to better outcomes. Together, we’ll explore bold ideas like price transparency, personal savings strategies, and community-centered care to reclaim healthcare for the people it was meant to serve. Join us in reimagining healthcare as a system that works for everyone. Visit communitymovementpodcast.com to learn more and be part of the movement.

  • The Beginning Of A Movement
    Jan 21 2025
    On December 4th, 2024, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was murdered in broad daylight, sparking a nationwide debate about the role of insurance in our lives. How did we move from a community-focused insurance to the for-profit system we have today? In this episode, we look back at the origins of insurance—when communities were at the heart of providing support and protection. Before modern insurance, communities would share resources, and care for one another in times of crisis. Over time, the focus shifted from mutual care to corporate profit, leaving many without the support they need. In this episode, we explore how this transformation has impacted the healthcare system and discuss how we can return to the roots of insurance: a community-centered approach. Join us as we envision a future where insurance is truly about supporting one another, and learn how we can rebuild a system that benefits everyone. In the next episode, we’ll dive into practical ways to restore community-centered insurance and healthcare. Subscribe and be part of the movement for change.
