In this episode of The Thought Snob Podcast, Paula sits down with Dr. Michael Miller, DO, Vice President of Partnerships at WOOP Care, and Jordan Doepke for a conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about health care.
Dr. Michael Miller is VP of Partnerships at WOOP Care, where he drives national growth and strategic alliances for a next-generation health plan redefining employer benefits through direct primary care and zero out-of-pocket design. Alongside Jordan, he shares how WOOP Care isn’t just another health insurance company—it’s a patient-centered model that empowers people to make healthcare decisions without being pressured by traditional insurers like Anthem or Humana.
Paula went into this conversation with minimal knowledge about how health insurance companies operate and walked away wiser, but also disappointed in how the system treats both patients and doctors. As Dr. Miller explains, even physicians are often at the mercy of health insurance companies, which leaves them feeling just as trapped as the rest of us.
Why does this episode belong on The Thought Snob Podcast? Because WOOP Care is about empowerment—putting the individual back in control of their health journey, removing barriers, and restoring dignity to the process.
If you’ve ever felt the health care system was designed to work against you, this episode will give you a new perspective—and perhaps, some hope.
