Healthcare is Rigged—And Insurance Companies Win Every Time

Dentistry has changed a lot since today's guest, Gary Scott, graduated from dental school in the early 90s. Some things—like the more hands-on education and emphasis on student shadowing—have gotten better. But with the way higher education and dental insurance are structured makes it much harder for new dentists to get off the ground and start their own practices.

In this episode, Gary and I chat about how the challenges he faced getting into dentistry have evolved, making it much harder for new dental professionals to establish themselves and find success. Plus, we'll talk about the role dental insurance plays in creating an antagonistic relationship between practitioners and their patients, and how everyone but the insurer almost always loses out.
