Thank you for sharing your information....I am totally hooked on watching your videos. Just when I thought I was the only one that goes down the "rabbit hole" of healthcare, you have me beat! Everyone needs to know and understand how American healthcare works and what they are paying for. I always learn something new that either confirms or compliments my research. Coming from the pharmaceutical industry, I was totally happy until I accidentally stumbled across a questionable "business practice". This was the beginning of investigating this and other practices that are just a speck in the opaque web that captures patient/consumers and now, healthcare providers, hospitals, pharmacists, and any other health-related services or products. American healthcare has become predatory consuming vulnerable patients and professional healthcare businesses so that venture capitalists, stockholders, and top-heavy companies with the appearance to be serving healthcare can do the "happy dance". I, now, as a patient/consumer advocate write and speak to laymen in plain language about the system and what they can do to help themselves.
Dr Bricker, if not having young people could mean that everyone in the room would be like you, I'd sacrifice the 'youth' for expertise! I do get that older people may make more conservative decisions though
Agree with the presentation here. To your point, consider the story of Oscar. I was in the room when they approached and were accepted into a large health care exchange. Their very young founder spoke a good (enough) game and they relied heavily on an old school actuary to defend their business model. To Oscar's favor, the exchange decision makers were in a low risk circumstance to accept them. However, Oscar is proving to be a failing organization as they MLRs are very high. Point is that those with more at stake (CFO, VP HR, etc.) in private organizations can (and do) point to examples like Oscar to further their risk aversion.
Love it - great marketing tips here. I think the idea of door to door, expanding from a small circle and growing it and also relying on word of mouth among local VPs is quite realistic. I wouldn't underestimate LI's power which you, Eric, do a great job with as well.
Love you content sir. One thing, could you please look into adjusting your audio. I have noticed a high pitch ringing noise in several of your videos that is constant which make them difficult to watch sometimes. Aside from the audio issues I love your videos, please continue!
This reminds me of internet precursor disrupted in 1980's: Loadlink. Shippe-carrier (truck and train) load-route matching took place in cigar-smoke-filled rooms on chalkboard. Guys in charge at such rooms at Yellow freight, for example, were able to get a trunk full of lobsters or Big Bertha drivers in return for preferential routing. How things never change, eh?
Thank You for this! It's what we needed to know!
