We talk about fixing healthcare, but almost no one talks about this part ⬇️ The deeper you look into insurance denials, the harder it is to understand how nobody is doing anything about it. People are fighting for medically necessary services. Clinicians are fighting to keep patients safe. And the system keeps shifting the burden onto the people least equipped to carry it. So how do we build enough pressure to force real change? If you work in healthcare, or you’ve watched a family member get caught in this maze, this will feel familiar.

There’s a strange gap in how we pay for care in America. We cover the most expensive parts - we spend even more when someone falls, gets an infection, or ends up in the ER. But the kind of support that prevents those situations, the companion who keeps someone safe, stable, and connected at home, isn't treated as essential. So why does this gap exist? And what would it take to change it? In this week’s episode, Neal Shah breaks down why home support is left out of the current model… and what happens when you flip the system to invest earlier instead of reacting later.

Most breakthroughs in care come from noticing what everyone else overlooks 👀 Instead of forcing people to navigate agencies, referrals, and guesswork, Neal Shah asked a different question: "What if we built a system that connects both sides, safely and reliably?" In this episode, Shah explains how an overlooked workforce of healthcare students (motivated, skilled, and excited for real experience) could close the gaps families face when long-term support becomes essential.

This is the unspoken truth of home care... Many people are paying premium rates for professional support, yet the quality doesn’t match the cost. Care workers are underpaid, turnover is high, and families are left trying to bridge the gap. Caregiving ends up becoming a second job that millions of Americans are quietly carrying on their shoulders. Everyone loses, especially the families who already feel stretched thin and guilty for not being able to do more. Want a clearer picture of how this system really works behind the scenes?

Ever heard of a medical device that breaks all the rules? 🤔 Traditional stents used to have a big problem: They were either flexible (but left gaps), OR strong (but stiff and harder to place) It was a trade-off, and doctors had to choose. But then came the CGuard® Prime Carotid Stent System. InspireMD's Shane Gleason explains how CGuard Prime combines the best of both worlds. Imagine a stent that's: Strong AND safe - with a special, super-fine mesh to keep plaque exactly where it belongs, preventing strokes + flexible and easy - Yet it's still agile enough for doctors to place with ease.
