From a healthcare company perspective:

Doctors are the customers. Companies compete with each other for doctors who provide the volume to expand margins.

Patients are a commodity to be profited off of. This is why we have sick-care instead of healthcare. There’s no cash flows in cures.

The government and insurance entities engage in a racket to prevent true price discovery, allowing the pharmaceutical and medical device companies to price gouge the taxpayers indirectly through:

-Medicare subsidies and reimbursement, predatory insurance premiums, and regulatory capture of the FDA.

Crony Capitalism at its finest. The best way to disrupt this system is to exercise, and only eat whole foods. The less ingredients the better. The best foods have no nutrition label. Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, fruits, vegetables, nuts.
