Behind The Line Podcast

Americans are paying nearly $27,000 per year for family health insurance coverage — and still facing high deductibles, copays, prior authorization delays, and claim denials.
In this episode of Behind the Line, we break down:
• 19% in-network claim denial rates on ACA plans
• 37% out-of-network denial rates
• Medicare Advantage prior authorization denial percentages
• Federal audit findings on improper denials
• Billions in insurance company profits
• Executive compensation packages exceeding $20–$60 million
• The structural incentive problem in shareholder-driven healthcare
This is not a partisan episode. It’s a structural one.
Are insurance companies primarily aligned with patient care — or shareholder performance?
We follow the data and let you decide.
If you’ve ever fought a denial, this episode is for you.
