Why Does the Healthcare System Resist Change?

    In this episode Dr. Kat Lindley sits down with Dr. Katy Talento to trace the financial incentives and structural barriers that keep the system locked in place. Talento led health policy on the White House Domestic Policy Council during the first Trump administration, overseeing federal health expenditures across HHS, DOL, and VA. She now builds health plans for employers. Dr. Lindley is a direct primary care physician and Director of the IMA Fellowship Program. Together, they see the same broken machinery from opposite ends of the system.

    The conversation moves from diagnosis to action: why lobbying works the way it does, how incentives reward sickness over health, what price transparency has actually accomplished, and where real policy momentum is finally building.

    The “system” is incapable of ever saying/admitting it was wrong about anything.
