How did one of the richest countries on earth end up with a healthcare system that impacts businesses as much as it hurts their employees? In this episode of Disruptive Dialogue, Chuck Melendi sits down with long-time friend and financial expert Scott Robey, a seasoned partner at Warren Averett, to tackle the economic cost of healthcare—beyond hospital visits and prescriptions.
Together, they break down how rising healthcare expenses ripple through industries, drive inflation, impact employments levels, and put U.S. companies at a global disadvantage. It’s a straight-up, no-fluff conversation—fueled by decades of experience and a splash of Woodford Reserve.
What You'll Hear:
· Why healthcare isn't just a personal issue—it's a business and economic problem
· How rising healthcare costs impact employment levels, inflation, and employer competitiveness
· Real-world financial and business insight from Scott’s 30+ years in public accounting
