Episode 87: Navigating the US healthcare...

About this episode

The US healthcare market is complex and difficult for patients to navigate. Specialist appointments are hard to find with long waiting times. Access to primary care providers is becoming difficult in certain markets. In this episode, we discuss with David Silverstein this complex landscape and his involvement with pushing for price transparency in the market and succeeding through executive orders. We then discuss his development of AMaze, working with employers, to provide immediate access to virtual care for their employees for both preventative and urgent issues (physical and mental health), and assisting these employees with getting the necessary appointments. By disrupting and the way the US healthcare market is functioning, AMaze has been able to decrease insurance costs on employers by having healthier employees both physically and mentally.
