Is your healthcare strategy treating the symptoms or the source? In our latest episode, Christopher Habig sits down with Tim Spooner, CEO of Solveglobal, to dismantle the broken cycle of musculoskeletal (MSK) care.

Most patients enter the system at the wrong point, leading to:
❌ Unnecessary surgeries
❌ Excessive imaging
❌ Spiraling costs for employers

The Solution? A proactive approach that prioritizes early, hands-on evaluation to stop claims before they start. Tim breaks down how solving problems at the root can transform workplace culture and keep employees productive.

Key Takeaways:
- For Employers: Learn how to take control of rising healthcare spend.
- For Patients: Find out how to escape the "runaround" and get back to feeling better.

Are you tired of the annual ritual of 10%, 15%, or even 20% health plan increases? It might not be your plan that’s the problem—it might be the system itself.

This week on Healthcare Americana, host Christopher Habig sits down with Colton Storla from North Risk Partners to pull back the curtain on the "benefits machine".

In this episode, we dive deep into:

- The Flaws of the Traditional Model: Why the standard renewal process often feels like "managing dissatisfaction" rather than solving problems.

- Misaligned Incentives: How vertically integrated carriers actually profit when your claims and premiums go up.

- The Power of Data: Why demanding transparency in how your $1.2M in premiums is actually spent is the first step to taking control.

- Proven Alternatives: How unbundling services and incorporating Direct Primary Care (DPC) can lower costs while actually improving care for your team.

As Colton notes, it’s time to shift from simply "buying insurance" to "buying healthcare". If your broker can't justify your renewal increase with hard data, it’s time to start asking better questions.
