Treating the 'Madness' of Healthcare's Status Quo (feat. William Bestermann)

<p>The American healthcare system is financially engineered to wait for expensive medical disasters rather than preventing them. Perhaps no one has a clearer view of how to dismantle this "rescue medicine" trap than Dr. Bill Bestermann. </p><p>A preventive cardiologist and former President of the South Carolina affiliate of the American Heart Association, Bestermann has spent decades fighting the "medical-industrial complex" from the inside—as an ICU director, health plan advisor, and chief medical officer. </p><p>As the author of the <em>Slow Aging and Delayed Chronic Disease Development</em> newsletter, Bestermann exposes how Wall Street insurance companies and obsolete, 50-year-old billing models actively protect highly profitable specialty silos at the expense of patient health. He is a fierce champion of optimal medical therapy, a low-cost, protocol-driven approach that arrests chronic disease at the root cellular level. </p><p>He joins us to unpack the staggering economic disparity between standard procedure-driven care and molecular prevention, explaining how self-insured employers and communities can bypass bloated hospital networks to buy actual, measurable value. </p><p>Find a transcript of this episode at movingtovalue.org/transcript/bestermann</p><p><br /></p><p>________</p><p><a href="https://www.movingtovalue.org/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up for our email list.</a></p><p>Thank you to our members who make our work possible!
