The Treatment Plan with David Usher, M.D.

The Employer Healthcare Crisis: Costs, Regulation, and Market Dysfunction


Listen Later

In this episode, Jack and Dave break down recent headlines showing the largest jump in employer health insurance costs in 15 years.


They explain what’s really driving those increases—from CMS reimbursement structures and GLP-1 drugs to the perverse incentives baked into insurance commissions—and why Obamacare locked small businesses into an unsustainable system.

The conversation explores how regulations designed to protect workers end up stifling innovation, entrenching large corporations, and penalizing small employers.

They close by discussing the rise of self-funded plans and the growing movement toward direct, market-driven healthcare.
