America's Healthcare Advocate

America's Healthcare Advocate

My name is Cary Hall and I have a strong desire to empower my fellow Americans to cancel out (not add to) the noise and confusion in the US healthcare system by bringing you curated information, a powerful group of healthcare providers, experts, practitioners, authors, and inventors, plus related business and industry leaders for every episode of my show. My goal is to enable you to become an expert in your own healthcare management. It will save your time, save your money, and considerably reduce the effort needed to accomplish it. Most people, when faced with a medical or healthcare decision, are often in for a complex and uphill battle finding and accessing the options available to them or even sorting through the available options to find the best one for them. I will continue to be a reliable and trusted source for expert-level information and advice about the nuances of healthcare and health insurance and a guide and advocate for every American when making important decisions about their personal healthcare and also when they are a caregiver and helping their spouse, parent, child, sibling or friend.
