Description
The healthcare system in our country is broken. It is time to fight for change, and to do it together. Tune in as retired industry executive Chuck Melendi and Disruptive Dialogue explore how healthcare corporations are sticking it to patients, providers and businesses.
You need to know what is really going on in our overpriced and underperforming healthcare system. Consumers and their employers pay too much money for too little care, and the players running the show are making billions.
Let’s create solutions, and let’s demand results. LET'S FIX HEALTHCARE.
