Speaker (Dr. Carnahan) argues that health insurance is designed to protect against catastrophic events or gaps in care, not to keep people healthy. He contrasts patients seen in his traditional family/insurance practice with those in a cash-based practice, noting notable differences between the two groups.

Insurance is there for if you are falling through the cracks or you have a life threatening illness. But it is not to keep you healthy. It is not intended to keep you healthy. And the decisions made by your insurance will not keep you healthy. So that was the first aha. Second aha was I'm doing this Cash practice, right? What happened was the patients from my family practice compared to the cash practice were so different.
