The Dark Side of Healthcare: How Profit Drives Medical Decisions | Broken Healthcare Podcast #40

Healthcare should be about people, not profit—but unfortunately, that’s not the system we have today. In this episode of Broken Healthcare, I sit down with Dr. Michael Fine, a physician and author of On Medicine as Colonialism, to expose how corporate interests have hijacked healthcare. From hospitals exploiting public funds to private equity draining community resources, we break down the real cost of profit-driven healthcare—and what we can do about it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. How corporate greed is draining healthcare dollars: Why public hospitals are being sold off for profit while patients get stuck with skyrocketing bills.
2. The hidden ways your community is being exploited: How wealth extraction through healthcare affects entire families, not just patients.
3. Why traditional healthcare is failing primary care: The truth about why you can’t find a doctor and wait times are months long.
4. How direct primary care (DPC) changes the game: Why cutting out insurance middlemen leads to better, more personal healthcare.
5. What communities can do to take healthcare back: The movement to rebuild primary care for all Americans and what it takes to make real change.

Healthcare isn’t broken—it’s being deliberately run this way. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Subscribe to Broken Healthcare and join the conversation on how we can fight back!
