In this episode Neil prepares to return to Spain’s legendary Camino de Santiago eleven years after cycling the famed French route. This time, joined by his partner Alexis and following the Portuguese coastal path, Neil explores why hundreds of thousands of pilgrims continue to undertake this centuries-old journey. As he looks ahead to the miles, the conversations, and the unexpected discoveries waiting along the way, he reflects on the lessons the Camino taught him years ago and wonders whether, at 82, he is ready to learn them all over again.

Episode 386: Cash Pay, Cost Sharing & Independent Medicine

What if health insurance isn’t the only—or even the best—way to pay for healthcare? Charles Frohman joins us to explain medical cost sharing, cash-pay medicine, Health Savings Accounts, Direct Primary Care, and the role of healthcare concierges in helping patients shop for doctors, tests, prescriptions, and procedures. We start with the basics: what medical cost sharing actually is, how it differs from insurance, what happens when a large medical bill arrives, what expenses may not be shareable, and how families can determine whether this model is right for them.

We also look at what it means to become a price-sensitive healthcare shopper—asking what care actually costs, comparing cash prices, and directing healthcare dollars toward independent doctors, labs, imaging centers, and other practitioners. Charles explains why he believes restoring a more direct financial relationship between patients and practitioners can lower costs, expand provider choice, and help independent medical practices survive.

We’ll also discuss how HSAs can fit into this approach, the 2026 changes affecting HSAs and certain direct-care arrangements, and practical first steps for families and small-business owners who want to explore alternatives without making a leap they don’t yet understand.

U.S. Constitution: The Most Beautiful Document—Ever

Stacy starts the show with a disclaimer about Carmex and a snack. It turns out Carmex is NOT addictive, it’s the cycle of dehydration and reapplication. What is addictive is Nerd Clusters and Eric just doesn’t get it. Clearly, he has not tried the crun-chewy concoction beloved by ADHDers and middle-aged women! Speaking of crun-chewy, Gertie is hating her new low-fat diet, and her resilience proves that like Chumba Wumba, she gets knocked down, but she gets up again. Eric has a type, roadside vacuums that are missing parts that can be replaced with the magic that is 3D printing – speaking of nerds! Thankfully with the money he saved on the vacuum he could afford to go see Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore? Nothing like nickel and diming your joy. Meanwhile, in her quest to make friends, Stacy went to a Sip & Putt event her apartment building hosted and found out the hard way how strong it was which may have improved her short game! Stacy watched two movies for her CBS this week, Straight Talk with Dolly Parton and James Wodds and White Chicks with the Wayans brothers. The first was sadly just meh and the second is meh if you’re over the age of 45. Eric prepared for a special Seattle Symphony event featuring the music of Ennio Morricone by watching A Fist Full of Dollars with Clint Eastwood; a movie where Clint found his steely-eyed, loner, big screen identity and spaghetti westerns found their footing in Hollywood. Who knew there’s a whole genre of western movies helmed by Italian directors! As for holding it versus using the restroom on a plane, it all depends on your age and stage. Just don’t follow the trend of wearing adult diapers to a concert so you don’t need a bathroom break!

In this candid episode of Meandering Musings, Neil shares a growing frustration familiar to many Americans: navigating the health-care system. Despite being healthy, persistent, technologically savvy, and financially secure, Neil finds himself overwhelmed by endless referrals, delayed appointments, missing records, phone trees, patient portals, and bureaucratic obstacles. He reflects on how patients have increasingly become their own schedulers, coordinators, and advocates, while asking the question: if someone like him struggles to navigate the system, what happens to those who are older, sicker, or less equipped to fight their way through it?
