Mark Cuban talking about hospital CEOs and decision-making in healthcare.

He argues that incentives around beds and revenue drive a lot of behavior, which can make outcomes feel disconnected from what patients expect.

For those who’ve worked in or around healthcare:

Does this resonate, or is it oversimplified?

We had a conversation with Mark Cuban, Kevin Schulman, and David Scheinker about how healthcare pricing actually works in the U.S.

They get into things like:

• Facility fees
• The 340B program
• Why pricing often isn’t clear until after care
• And how insurance and hospital billing structures interact

At one point, it’s compared to charging $3 for a beer and $5,000 for the cup to explain how certain fees get layered in.

Curious how people here see it, does this come down to a broken system, or one that’s functioning as designed?
