In this in-studio episode of the Broken Healthcare Podcast, host Ray Kober sits down with David C Smith, Senior Vice President at eBen Benefits, for a powerful conversation on how employers can finally take control of their healthcare costs while improving care for employees.
David’s path is unique: he went to law school and worked as an attorney before ultimately finding his calling in the benefits and insurance industry. That legal foundation gives him a sharp perspective on contracts, compliance, and the forces shaping healthcare costs — insights he now uses to help organizations save millions.
“We’ve been told healthcare is unfixable — but the truth is, employers have more leverage than they realize.” – David Smith
