Healthcare Unraveled

About Healthcare Unraveled

An educational podcast that's goal is to build transparency in US employer-sponsored health plans and total rewards. 153 million Americans under the age 65 are covered by an employer-sponsored health plan. Yet one in three Americans owe money to a hospital, doctor, or other healthcare provider. And still, many don't understand the complex U.S. healthcare system. How can I learn more? I'm your host, Michael Patella. I recently joined the healthcare industry working in employee benefits consulting. Each day, I'm surrounded by confusing industry jargon, statistics, and companies trying to learn best practices to benefit their employees who are ultimately affected. Over the course of this podcast, I am determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding U .S. healthcare. Join me on this journey as I engage in candid conversations with insurance leaders, HR professionals, and healthcare executives uncovering previous confusion and future innovation. This is Healthcare Unraveled. Follow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
