No article I have written has awakened more people than this Forbes piece Have PPO Networks Perpetrated The Greatest Heist In American History? — including benefits brokers who are supposed to know this stuff.

Countless benefits pros have told me this article changed the trajectory of their career. They couldn’t un-see what they’d read.

A dose of good news I wrote about in my book: In the real market, healthcare costs are flat. “Real” = the massive, growing direct contract and cash pay market thanks to PPO abuses and high deductible health plans (over half the workforce has >$1000 deductible — i.e., greater than the entire savings of over half of households).
