In this powerful episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down with Jeff Bak, CEO of Imagine360, to dismantle the myths around employer-sponsored healthcare and reveal how reference-based pricing (RBP) is slashing costs, improving care access, and offering a real alternative to bloated PPO plans.
