> We believe the root cause is that the U.S. system is rife with misaligned incentives. For example, the fee-for-service structure incentivizes overuse and volume-based billing, rather than health. Thirty-five cents of every dollar spent goes to clinical waste, unnecessary services, administrative bloat, or fraud. (We could give footnotes, but doubt anyone needs convincing.)
This is exactly what caused me to launch Wyndly (https://www.wyndly.com https://www.wyndly.com). It's simply not profitable for the existing medical infrastructure to offer our treatment through insurance, so there's an inherent inefficiency.
It's awesome to see someone pushing this forward.
