Are Third-Party Payers Bleeding You Dry?

Ever been blindsided by a medical bill so big you had to sit down? You’re not alone. Americans are grappling with “gotcha bills”—unexpected medical charges that show up long after a doctor’s visit or procedure. It’s a nightmare made worse by a system that hides costs until it’s too late.

But what’s driving this mess? Dr. Chad Savage joined me to break it down, and here’s the big takeaway: third-party payers. These are the middlemen—insurance companies and government programs—that control the money flow in healthcare. According to Dr. Savage, they’re the reason medical bills are skyrocketing.

Think about it. In most industries, you know the price before you buy. Not in healthcare. Thanks to third-party payers, prices are hidden, inflated, and passed along to the very people they claim to help—patients like you. Medicare is no exception, leaving seniors drowning in out-of-pocket expenses.

Dr. Savage argues that expanding insurance coverage only makes things worse. Subsidize something, and you’ll get more of it—higher costs, more inefficiencies, and less control for patients. Want to know how we can fix this broken system? You’ll have to hear Dr. Savage lay it out.
