Cutting Out the Insurance Cartel and Going Straight to Care Ep 132: Where is the Uber and Amazon of medical care? Well, on this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by Dr. Kevin Smith, co-founder of the Oklahoma Surgery Center, the closest thing to Uber within the medical profession. In a very engaging and wide ranging discussion, the type of health care discussion we are missing in Washington, Dr. Smith shares his secret to reducing costs and improving quality of care. By cutting out the administrative costs, the burdens, and regulations of the price-fixing insurance cartel and government programs, he has been able to reduce the cost of surgeries to as little as 10-50% of the entire cost of services elsewhere. The free market, cutting out the middle man, and circumventing government intervention have a funny way of bringing down costs and spurring innovation.
