Is America’s Healthcare System Beyond Repair? Rita Numerof Doesn’t Think So.
In this powerful crossover episode of TCNTalks and Anatomy of Leadership, Chris Comeaux sits down with healthcare strategist and thought leader Rita Numerof, Co-founder and President of Numerof & Associates. Together, they pull back the curtain on one of today’s most urgent crises: the deeply flawed business model driving healthcare in America.
Rita offers a bold diagnosis, explaining how misaligned incentives, opaque pricing, and outdated payment systems have derailed care. But she doesn’t stop there. With clarity and conviction, she lays out a path forward: a market-based model that ties payment to performance, empowers consumers, and demands transparency and accountability from every player—from providers to payers to policymakers.
The episode dives into:
Why the current system resists change—and how to break through
The role of technology in reshaping care delivery
How insurance companies contribute to the dysfunction
What real consumer responsibility in healthcare could look like
Rather than offering quick fixes, Rita champions systemic reform with optimism and urgency.
🎧 Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation. It’s a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of healthcare.
