“The healthcare industry has done a horrible job in presenting itself to the world,” says Fine. “On one end of the spectrum, you have drugs with all sorts of scary warnings like ‘may cause insomnia or rectal bleeding,’ but that really work. On the other end, you have herbal and homeopathic remedies that are nice and friendly but that don’t really work. We took the tone from one and the effectiveness from the other.”Not quite ready to trust the honesty of his intent, but congratulations at least on being entertaining.
One way they differentiate themselves is with their fresh perspective on the health industry. “In the biggest sense, American healthcare is much too complicated. You spend 15 percent of your G.D.P. on it, and health rates are worse than in other countries. A healthcare bill with a robust public plan that everyone can sign up to is the best way to simplify.”
