I'm frustrated by a recent $100,000 bill my client received for a knee replacement performed at a low-quality facility. I can't help but question how we've normalized this level of waste in our healthcare system. This egregious example highlights everything wrong with healthcare today—the only industry where we blindly follow recommendations without any information about quality or cost.

But there's hope on the horizon. Progressive companies across America are creating a revolutionary healthcare experience for their employees. Picture a fork in the road: one path leads to the familiar landscape of deductibles, co-pays, and maximum out-of-pocket expenses. The other path—the one changing the game—directs employees to high-quality, reasonably-priced providers where they pay absolutely nothing for their care. Zero dollars. From routine dermatology visits to complex procedures like knee replacements, employees can access excellent care without opening their wallets.

This isn't some futuristic fantasy—it's happening now for organizations with 100+ employees. By recapturing the enormous waste in the system (like that $70,000 of unnecessary spending on a single knee replacement), employers can fund their employees' healthcare costs completely. We're eliminating waste while simultaneously improving access to quality care. If you're tired of watching healthcare costs spiral out of control, share this message with company leaders and decision-makers in your network. Together, we can transform healthcare from a burden into a benefit that truly serves people without breaking the bank.
