Solving The Great American Healthcare Heist — with Chris Deacon


Listen Later

In Part 1, we uncovered how America’s healthcare system became what Chris Deacon calls a “coordinated heist.” 

Now, in Part 2, we focus on the solutions—and how employers, unions, and individuals can take charge of healthcare and make it work for real people again.

Chris, author of The Great American Healthcare Heist and former director of one of the largest public-sector health plans in the U.S., shares practical, hopeful steps toward reform. We explore how restoring trust, rebuilding relationships, and removing middlemen can transform both patient and provider experiences.

👉 In this episode, we discuss:

  • How direct primary care (DPC) brings patients and doctors closer together

  • Why investing in primary care is the smartest move employers can make

  • How high-deductible health plans and misaligned incentives discourage care

  • The new role of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) in funding DPC memberships

  • What 501R hospital charity programs can do to protect patients from medical debt

  • How reform benefits not just patients—but also doctors—by restoring joy and purpose in medicine


At HELPcare Clinic, we believe in making healthcare personal, transparent, and affordable again. This episode with Chris Deacon will inspire you to see that change isn’t just possible—it’s already happening.

💬 “Anything that moves the patient and provider closer together is the right direction,” Chris says—and that’s exactly what we’re working toward.

🎧 Listen now and learn how we can all help fix what’s broken.
