Hear What You've Been Missing

On this StartUp Health NOW episode, we’re talking about wasteful spending in healthcare. This is one of those topics that’s hard to put in perspective. The institute of medicine says that 30% of healthcare spending could be categorized as wasteful, putting the total tab north of $750 million. It could be a trillion dollars. Health insurance premiums are up 7% year over year, according to Health Affairs. Analysts point to inflation as a strong cause, but this nearly trillion dollars in unnecessary spending isn’t helping the equation. Bottom line, healthcare costs are out of control and driving many people into medical bankruptcy. If 30% of healthcare spending is unnecessary, we’ve got to get this under control. Thankfully, we’ve got founders in the StartUp Health community who are passionate about this issue. Jude Odu, CEO & Founder of Health Cost IQ, and Pinaki Dasgupta, CEO & Founder of Hindsait, will help us understand what constitutes wasteful spending and how advances in AI allow us to root it out at the source. This is the kind of innovation that takes some courage, because pointing out to a hospital that they’re double billing or telling an insurer that they’re making massive errors doesn’t make you popular with either party. But it’s got to be done if we’re going to get overall health costs under control.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 209 A Leap of Faith - Rare Disease Moms on the Bittersweet Joy of New Babies I'm joined by two new, rare moms, Emily and Katie, to discuss the topic of having additional children after you've had a child with a rare disease.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How did your experience with your first born children's genetic conditions shake your hopes and fears about having a second child?  Once you connect with the rare disease world and learn about all of the rare disease possibilities, you know rare isn't so rare. The second pregnancy is different because you're aware of the chance that something can happen more than once and your eyes are open to the potential outcomes. Does having the knowledge the second time take away from the joy? It definitely does. We had genetic testing done on our second child and it was terrifying until we got results. Throughout the entire pregnancy, I didn't feel safe.  Did you wish you had a typical experience and did you feel bad for feeling that way? You expect challenges to happen again, and it's a self-preservation mentality, not wanting to set yourself up to be disappointed. I do feel guilty about wanting a typical parenting experience, but that's what everyone wants. That's not to say that you don't love and appreciate your parenting experience with your child who has disabilities. We don't want to see our children suffer and we don't want to suffer as parents.  What is your best advice for families thinking about having another child? It's important for parents to acknowledge all of their feelings and the complexities of their feelings. It's complicated, so reach out to other people you know who have been through it. Talking to others will help to solidify your decision to continue growing your family, despite how terrifying it might feel.   CONNECT WITH KATIE A Very Rare Adventure https://averyrareadventure.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/averyrareadventure CONNECT WITH EMILY Instagram https://www.instagram.com/emily_amerson_/ LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 151 - Rare Friends Forever - Hanging Out and Showing Some Love to Brene Brown with Katie Lloyd and Adam Johnson https://effieparks.com/podcast/episode-151-rare-friends-forever ONCE UPON A GENE - Episode 125 - A Very Rare and Very Real Adventure with DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome Mom and Author of a Very Rare Adventure Katie Lloyd https://effieparks.com/podcast/episode-125-katie-lloyd ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 205 - Mastering the Art of the Supermarket Answer When Someone Asks, How Are You with Jennifer Siedman https://effieparks.com/podcast/episode-205-mastering-the-art-of-the-supermarket-answer CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/
