Minisode 77: The Broken American Healthcare System EXPOSED Psychiatry Unboxed with TheKicksShrink

The American healthcare system is broken, but it’s not the fault of the dedicated doctors and nurses. In this video, Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza, triple board-certified psychiatrist, dives deep into the real villains: insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and prior authorizations. Discover how these entities create barriers and drive up healthcare costs.
Insurance companies use sneaky tactics to limit coverage and increase costs. High prescription costs and the maze of prior authorizations make getting necessary treatments a nightmare. PBMs further complicate matters, often keeping savings for themselves.
Learn about the role of insurance companies, the impact of prior authorizations, and how PBMs contribute to skyrocketing drug prices. Find out why peer reviews can sometimes be a hurdle rather than a help.
