Why Health Care Feels Broken, Explained by Doctors | Give It To Me Straight, Doc
Why does health care feel so hard to navigate? In this episode of Give It To Me Straight, Doc, host Anjalee Khemlani sits down with Dr. Jason Wilson of Tampa General Hospital , Morsani College of Medicine, and USF Health to break down some of the biggest frustrations patients face in today’s health care system.

Dr. Wilson shares why the emergency room can take so long, when patients should consider urgent care, how doctors think through testing and treatment, and why the system can feel confusing even for the people working inside it.

If you have ever felt stuck waiting, confused by insurance, unsure where to go for care, or overwhelmed by the health care system, this episode gives you a clearer look at how it works and what patients should know before making their next medical decision.

Health care is changing fast, and more patients are turning to online platforms, telehealth visits, cash-pay options, prescription marketplaces and direct-to-consumer care to get what they need faster.

From Amazon One Medical and Sesame to GoodRx, GLP-1 weight loss medications, online prescriptions, pharmacy access, insurance frustrations and price transparency, this conversation looks at how health care is starting to feel more like e-commerce.
