Healthcare System Dysfunction: Doctors' Salaries and Patient Advocacy

Dr. Jordan Grummet (Doc G) discusses the dysfunction in the healthcare system, highlighting how doctors' business incentives, driven by insurance company payments, can conflict with patient advocacy. He suggests that patients need to be their own advocates, stay informed, ask questions, and vote with their dollars by choosing healthcare providers who are willing to prioritize patient needs.

there are very few times that you can actually get a doctor to be your advocate because they are running a business and they are incentivized to do more.
Doc G
The insurance companies are paying them to do more. And so that's why you're seeing the system continue to break.
Doc G
We can choose to go to the doctors who are willing to bend the rules for us. We can choose to go to the hospitals that are willing to meet us where we are. And if we do that, then we can start to see some positive change.
