Healthcare is broken, and it’s not by accident. In this episode, Dr. Evan Pollack joins the DocNation hosts and they pull back the curtain on why physicians are being systematically squeezed out of the healthcare system’s profits while others thrive.

The discussion takes aim at the AMA, questioning why they charge membership dues to physicians while seemingly failing to stop devastating Medicare cuts. With their lucrative control of CPT codes, does the AMA really need those dues, or is it time to open their doors to every physician for free?

Listeners will also hear shocking revelations about the disparities in how hospitals treat different healthcare workers. For example, physicians often face termination with less pushback than unionized nurses—a grim reality that speaks volumes about the lack of collective support for doctors.

The episode explores a harsh truth: the healthcare pie is too small, and the wrong people are feasting on it. Government budgets set a fixed amount of funding, and as private insurers and administrative bloat claim larger slices, physicians are left fighting over scraps. The question isn’t just how to divide the pie—it’s how to expand it to support those actually delivering patient care.

This conversation isn’t afraid to ruffle feathers. It’s a call to action for every physician who’s tired of being undervalued and overworked in a system that prioritizes profits over patient care.

Physicians don’t just need a seat at the table—they need to take control of the kitchen.
