The Hey Road
I am Dr. Daniel Hey, the host of The Hey Road, a unique podcast discussing various issues as I see them through a “medical” lens of over 20 years of experience. Through interviews with experts as well as my own commentary, we’ll explore wherever the road of inquiry takes us: the medical profession, the nature of healing, mindfulness, faith, finances, ethics, personal development and wherever else you—our diverse listening audience—want to travel. So… let’s begin!

Episode 8
Dr. Daniel Hey gives an overview of the various healthcare financing systems, economic concepts related to healthcare, and rationing within every system. Dr. Hey shares his opinions on how healthcare financing is compromised, regardless of political perspectives or systems in place. Different systems produce different benefits and various serious costs. A lot of money in the American healthcare system is wasted and that is in large part due to the public's misunderstandings and misconceptions of private medical practitioners and medical insurance in the United States.
