A Navy Physician Who Served With the Marines Breaks Down America’s Healthcare Crisis

Dr. James O’Leary served as a Navy physician assigned to the Marines and carried those lessons through an entire career in medicine. After retiring, he became a powerful voice on X, speaking openly about PBMs, Medicare Advantage, physician autonomy, and the structural incentives that drive healthcare costs out of control.

In this episode, Dutch and Dr. O’Leary explore:

• Life as a Navy physician with the Marines

• How PBMs manipulate drug pricing

• Medicare Advantage denials and algorithms

• Why employers stay loyal to BUCA plans

• Why young physicians feel trapped

• What it will take to rebuild independence in American healthcare

• Why patients and physicians must unite

A candid, energizing conversation with someone who understands medicine, service, and policy at a deep level.
