## Resource

This week on The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie and Scott talk about one of the hardest weeks in healthcare leadership. Major changes in insurance contracts have forced providers to make tough decisions—realigning care teams, reducing staff, and helping patients navigate new realities. Scott opens up about the strain these shifts place on both patients and providers, and why the current system is broken. Together, Jamie and Scott discuss: Why patients often face unexpected out-of-pocket costs. How rapid insurance changes disrupt access to primary care. What a fully staffed care team looks like—and how it improves outcomes. The hidden costs of “affordable” insurance plans. Why prevention and strong provider relationships are the real keys to lowering costs. This candid conversation exposes the hard truths of today’s healthcare system—and why disruption is the only way forward.
