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

✅ Why healthcare costs keep climbing despite worsening employee experience

✅ The hidden forces inflating employer healthcare spend

✅ How eBen Benefits is helping organizations break free from the status quo

✅ Practical strategies to save money and improve employee benefits

✅ Why lasting reform starts with business leaders, not Washington
