I know SO many people who have been denied coverage or whose doctors are terrified to order comprehensive bloodwork and preventative screenings that can save a patients lives. Drug costs in America are higher than anywhere else in the WORLD. It’s outrageous. It has to stop. Brigham is teaches us their dirty tricks so we can safeguard ourselves and our family from this rampant corruption and greed. Share your story here. Let me know what you thought of this show. And please post any guest recommendations you want to see on KIR Pod. ❤
My insurance company charged me $400 for a service that the doctor only charged them $100 for. They told me they have a contract with the provider that says no matter what the actual cost, they have to charge me $400. So, if the service cost $1, I would be billed $400. It would have been cheaper without insurance. I DON’T understand how this is legal.
@@Snowstorm567 I've been astounded to see on my medicare statement that over $300 has been charged just to have an assistant irrigate my ears to get a build up of wax out with a doctor taking a quick look before and after.
Jillian is now a new hero emerging in the movement against the corporate greed and darkness of healthcare. I hope the momentum of exposing what's really happening keeps getting stronger!
I am SO impressed with your direction of these podcasts. You cover a wide range of topics and present all sides. The quality of guests and current data you present make this one of the most educational experiences in today’s one-sided reporting. Keep it coming. I can’t wait for each new episode. I really respect what you’re doing here.
When my son was 2 he was diagnosed with Gaucher. It’s rare and requires an IV infusion every 2 weeks and runs about $60,000 per visit. As a father in IL, I drove to Mayo in MN as I couldn’t accept it. The doc at Mayo said there is zero incentive for medical to ever come up with a cure. He looked at me and said they will make millions off my son in a lifetime-how much could they charge for a magic pill to cure your son? I was floored and started reading how that industry feeds and wants people to be sick.

I just had this happen to a client all good markers of all metabolic markers. Cholesterol elevated. I explained how LDL is not real LDL they tried to convince client statin. I said no this will elevate blood glucose and could start real metabolic problem's. I said ask for advanced lipid profile they said, no due to costs. They don't want proof there was no need to prescribe.
Everything discussed is absolutely infuriating. I'm so glad there are people like Brigham and others pulling the curtain back and exposing the corruption. Greed stems from a mental disorder - our country and healthcare industry are controlled by a lot of mentally ill people it would seem. Keep up the great work Brigham and Jillian! ❤
It’s INFURIATING. But the more this insanity is exposed the more people know how to fight back. Just asking for the cash price of your prescription and it costing less than your co-pay?! And legally the pharmacist can’t tell you that unless you ask… crazy.
Thank you Jillian for this incredible & informative interview!!! I consider myself extremely informed about the things you & your guest are talking about. But wow, learned so much. Keep getting this stuff out there. Now how do we make this affordable to everyone, that wants to be proactive about their health!
try to steer clear of the meds that they say take this for that but need to see U in 3months to see if it's hurting another organ even tho its helping that organ -wow😮 💡😊
@@rg5445 The FDA is just as paid and bought as the rest of them. Look up what the FDA "free range" label means. For the most part, it means nothing. Some "free range" chickens never see the light of day.

Private Equity, Insurance and Big Pharma is getting rich off healthcare. I am writing this before watching.. Let's see if this is what this guys angle is.
Ive been an RN for over 20 years and i will never go to the doctor or the hospital. Maybe if i have a bone sticking out. I don't have health insurance because i can't afford it for one and another im not wasting money on something i wont use. I work in a hospital, all i do is hand out pills, pills and more pills. I don't do anything that actually helps
@@kristielynnkw thanks for sharing. It's scary. They all say "trust your doctor". But can we really? What guarantee do we have that the doctors themselves are not influenced, pushed or forced to so things that may not align with their values?
I wish i could like these episodes 1000x. This has become one of my TOP health and wellness podcast! I recommend it to everyone. I love the topics you're exposing and the guests that you're bringing in (minus that crazy lady from the other day, sorry but i couldn't get through that episode, she was insufferable and the most unproductive convo you've had) besides her ive LOVED all your guests and im learning so much!

Pharmacist here of 37 years, board certified geriatric and pharmacogenomic educated, I have worked for compounding pharmacies over the years. In the early years there was not as much regulation, but the expectations/ regulations have improved quality of compounded drugs over the years. I absolutely think prescription drugs are overprescribed. I have become disillusioned with the health care system over the years. and am not currently working. I was taught that lifestyle changes were where one was supposed to begin in managing chronic diseases, now it seems like they just throw a drug at it. I would love to work for Brigham!
Thank you for helping us all get to the truth. I would love a video specifically around mental health / anti anxiety / anti - depressant meds. Based on my experience, my gut is telling me something with this industry isn’t right. I almost feel I was made to become dependent on them when that’s the last thing I wanted.
Knowledge is power for tyrants that will use the information against us. Reject digital records… insurance goes up… employees suddenly fired, etc etc. Guard privacy.
My medicare plan was paying 80% of my naturalpath doctor visits up to 6 visits a year. This year the plan said in order to have them keep paying this I would have to pay $44 a month even if I only had 1 visit for the year. Not paying the $44/month; not worth it. I go to a naturalpath for monitoring my thyroid hormone level. I need a test for TSH, frT4 and frT3 every 6 months to evaluate that med dose is neither too much nor too little, and if just T4 is needed or T3 or a combination. The medical doctor (a physician's assistant) will only test for TSH once a year (standard of care).
This is such great information -I'd love to know where to start - what to search to take control of my own healthcare - a how to start for idiots - LOL
I’m 56 and don’t have to take any meds. I guess I’m weird because since I was a kid I’ve had trust issues. I don’t trust any entity or person until they’ve earned my trust. My family live well into the 90’s and even beyond 100. So, I eat what my family has eaten and I do what they’ve done. I went to my doctor because I thought something was wrong with me because I have the energy level of a 5 yr old which is very unusual for someone my age (and even for those that are younger). After some blood tests, she told me I’m healthy and that’s what happens when your healthy.
I’m watching this as someone who has long believed so much of this but again WHAT ABOUT MEDICARE? Can we afford to opt out. Its a trap as once you do that drastic step your out forever.
I would drop it except for the possibility of an emergency. I live healthy and pay for a naturalpath for minor concerns which in my experience the medical system is a joke in. The only shot I've ever had is tetanus several times. I've gotten the flu occasionally; no covid (yet). My natural immune system does the job well. (83 yrs).
Kudos on the direction you’ve been taking the show. I miss the Janice craziness so maybe could add a touch of that back in periodically, but I love the depth of topics you’ve been covering. I feel like others are taking more notice of how awesome you are that us listeners have already known.
In Houston, I Saw Walgreens and CVS, build across the literal street from a popular compounding neighborhood pharmacy which was totally legit, w sober intelligent amazing people running it, trying to snuff their business out. But consumers rallied to move their prescriptions to them (I did) They are still open today, thankfully. I know that they compound specialty medicines for a lot of children in the Medical Center that have flavors. You know, grape flavored cherry, flavored things that people need and shame on people who are just so evil that they would harm others to try to earn money - there are better ways out there.
That's your choice, but you might rethink you reasoning as compound pharmacists were/are the ones helping people get ivermectin, HCQ and other repurposed drugs that are cheaper and made custom for the patient when chain pharmacies refuse even when a doctor wrote a prescription.
Someone please explain the “required” insurance company “wellness” exam! Isn’t this what your primary doctor is for? I see this completely a money maker for the insurance companies. Add the revenue of just this one unnecessary appointment cost to their bottom line. And all they do is ask gotcha questions that can lead to more appointments and “services” or prescribing meds! Not to mention these “exams” are conducted by third party companies and interviewers that the company chooses and we are forced to go to. Where is our privacy or right to our personal choice of our health.
Ok. So what avenues for good care do people who are forced to be on Medicare due to their age have unless they are wealthy? I am and have been of this mindset that you are setting forth. I don’t utilize my Medicare except in dire situations: I e I had a broken bone from an accident and needed surgery. But what are my options as I already have to pay what is a much higher amount than I was when I WAS SELF INSURED AS A SMALL BIZ OWNER. I am now forced to participate in the Medicare system. If I opt out then I’m in trouble if something serious occurs but I could be spending that premium each month for healthcare in a functional medicine setting instead.

U asking people to get tested? Then what? Get into the scam system??? This is just another salesman. Testing is not the problem, is it the treatment when there is a problem.
