426 — The Three False Assumptions Propping Up American Healthcare

This episode is a blunt, no-apologies examination of why healthcare feels expensive, impersonal, and broken—because it is operating exactly as designed. Tim argues that the system thrives on fear, inflated pricing, and the removal of consumer agency. From end-of-life care to insurance “psyops,” the conversation highlights how divorcing patients from cost, choice, and responsibility fuels inefficiency and moral hazard. The episode closes with a clear message: you don’t fix this system from inside it—you opt out where you can, take ownership of your health, and stop feeding the machine.
