This week’s Doctor’s Lounge wasn’t polite, and it definitely wasn’t scripted. We tackled the looming physician shortage, the hard economics of staying independent, and the ugly reality of how insurers retaliate against outspoken doctors.
Three of the country’s sharpest physicians are ripping off the curtain off what’s really happening inside American healthcare, the kind of conversation you’ll never hear in an AHA boardroom or GOP Doc Caucus meeting.
38% of U.S. physicians could be gone in 60 months. and why it’s not just about burnout.
The retaliatory playbook insurers use to keep physicians in line.
Why physician-owned hospitals outperform on cost and quality, but remain shackled by federal law.
The self-sabotage problem: how doctors undermine each other in the fight for independence.
The business case for direct contracting and cutting out middlemen.
How to turn small practices into a coordinated force that can beat hospital monopolies.
If you KNOW physician independence is worth fighting for, this is your playbook. Watch it, share it, and tag a doctor who needs to hear it.
