Are you ready to rethink what health really means—and what it takes for us to achieve it? Welcome to the “More Health. Less Healthcare” Podcast, your front-row seat to a revolution in American healthcare, inspired by the game-changing book by Peter Boland.

Healthcare doesn’t have to be defined by endless bills, mounting debt, and a system that prioritizes profits over people. What if there’s a better way that means more health for everyone, fewer unnecessary costs, and a renewed sense of fairness in how care is delivered?

The “More Health. Less Healthcare” podcast takes you inside the heart of a growing movement: one that values equity, transparency, collaboration, and, above all, real outcomes for real people. Hosted by thought leaders committed to making a difference, each episode starts with a bold question: Are we ready to do the right thing, for the right reasons, at the right price?

Drawing from over 100 real-life case examples and interviews, this podcast isn’t just another critique of what’s broken. It’s your practical playbook for solutions that work—proof of concept that eradicating health disparities and cutting out waste can lead to healthier communities, a stronger economy, and a more ethical society.

Learn how the hidden cost of inequity in American healthcare is draining hundreds of billions of dollars from our economy every year, and how millions of Americans endure the crushing burden of medical debt. Discover why up to a third of all healthcare spending in the U.S.—a staggering $1.4 trillion each year—has no benefit for patients and only adds to the harm. The “More Health. Less Healthcare” podcast uncovers these hard truths and turns them into a call for accountability and courage.

We face a crucial choice: keep overspending on sickness care or rebalance our priorities to invest in real health creation. COVID-19 revealed the glaring gaps in our system and the disproportionate impact on minority communities, bringing discrimination and broken incentives to the forefront. The podcast tackles these issues head-on, with stories and strategies from those leading the way on public health, end-to-end care coordination, and the rebuilding of trust in our healthcare institutions.

Why do traditional healthcare financing models fail us? How can we redirect wasted resources to programs that create health? What can individuals, practitioners, and policymakers do right now to drive systemic change, eliminate unnecessary care, and refocus on community-based solutions?

Each episode is a masterclass in what it means to be accountable for the health of our communities. We draw on the wisdom of healthcare’s past, rooted in Hippocrates’ timeless principle—first do no harm, then try to prevent it—and update it for the 21st century. Our guests bring you groundbreaking ideas and proven methods to advance equity, commit to health creation, and embrace transparency and fairness as the guiding values of a new era.

Don’t miss the conversations that matter from how to slash 26-46% of healthcare waste, to making public health programs robust statewide and nationwide, to amplifying voices that have turned health equity from an ideal into a reality.

Whether you’re a patient, a clinician, a policymaker, or someone who simply cares about the future of health in America, “More Health. Less Healthcare” is your go-to resource for hope, honest dialogue, and practical steps toward a fairer, healthier tomorrow. Subscribe now and join the national conversation about how we value health, the urgent reforms we need, and how—with the right leadership and commitment—we can all experience more health and less healthcare.

  • What If Healthcare Incentives Were Right? Insights from Pathways, Houston Methodist, and Blue Cross
    2026/07/01

    In our latest episode of More Health, Less Healthcare, Peter Boland tackles a fundamental question: What if the healthcare industry got the incentives right? Drawing from insights in the comprehensive Health Equity Case Studies Handbook, Peter Boland summarizes game-changing models and the powerful results that emerged when organizations shifted to pay-for-outcomes.


    Key Takeaways from the Episode

    • Pay for Outcomes, Not Activities:
    • Most healthcare payments go toward procedures and visits, not true health improvements. Peter Boland challenges us to consider: What if we tied payment to real results, just like we do in other industries?
    • Success Stories Highlighted:
    • Pathways Community Hub:
    • Community health workers are paid when problems are solved, not just for showing up. This model led to a dramatic increase in healthy birth weights and better prenatal outcomes.
    • Houston Methodist:
    • Giving doctors access to monthly, personalized data on their practice resulted in lowered hospital admissions, fewer readmissions, and millions in shared savings.
    • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts:
    • Their alternative quality contract ties provider payments to patient outcomes and equity—not just volume. This approach slowed spending and improved care for all populations.
    • Measuring What Matters:
    • Across the board, organizations that “measure what matters and tell the truth about it” saw behavior change and improved results.


    Despite abundant evidence, Peter Boland asks why the industry hasn’t widely adopted these models. The answer: it’s not a lack of information—the missing ingredient is institutional will.

  • Redefining Maternal Health: Coverage, Access, and Accountability
    2026/06/24

    In this episode, Peter Boland zooms out to examine why maternal health outcomes in the U.S. are a direct result of the systems and policies we build, not random chance. Too often, policy treats pregnancy as a brief event—missing the reality that maternal health is a long-term continuum stretching from pre-pregnancy, through birth, and into the year after.


    It’s not enough to offer coverage on paper or just measure outcomes—someone has to be responsible for improving them. Tying incentives, contracts, and regulations to real results is key.


    Listen to the episode for the full story on how smarter policy can save lives and deliver real value—financially and in human well-being.

  • The Hidden Tax on Motherhood: Unseen Costs and Community Impact
    2026/06/17

    In our latest episode of More Health, Less Healthcare, Peter Boland uncovers a crucial and often overlooked issue: the “hidden tax” on motherhood. Unlike the taxes you see on receipts, this one is paid in hospital bills, lost wages, and missed life chances — with the biggest burden falling on those who can least afford it.


    These costs may be invisible, but their impact is real — affecting hospital bills, lost wages, long-term health, and community stability. As Peter points out at, the system’s shortcomings disproportionately affect families with fewer resources, stretching gaps in care into dangerous and expensive hazards.


    We all pay the price for a failing maternal health system, but not equally. Whether you’re a healthcare leader, employer, or policymaker, Peter calls for leadership and accountability:

    • Make maternal care essential
    • Prioritize prevention in benefits and policies
    • Track and address outcome disparities

    As Peter closes, the real question is whether we keep ignoring this hidden tax — or decide, as a community and society, to change it.
