Republicans in Congress beat back the medical-industrial complex with the One Big Beautiful Bill. Instead of a system hooked on government & bureaucracy, this puts patients first—driving innovation and real value in healthcare. @RealJoeGrogan and @brian_blase break it down on

Blase’s research exposed California’s worst-in-nation scam: a rigged tax that pulled in $10B in federal cash, then funded Medicaid for illegal immigrants. The Biden admin even rewarded NY & CA with more scams. The bill shut it down.

Democrats once agreed. Biden called provider taxes a scam. Obama proposed cutting them. Dick Durbin called them a charade. But now when Republicans do the same reform? The left cries “people will die.” Pure hypocrisy.

Blase explains the Medicaid “money laundering” scam: states tax hospitals → return it as Medicaid payments → then bill Washington for billions. A shell game that pumps up hospital revenues while draining federal coffers.

New @DCEKGpodcast: @RealJoeGrogan talks with @brian_blase about fixing Medicaid. From ending scams to taking on the hospital lobby, they break down how the one big beautiful bill delivers real reform.

Dan offered this comparison about other countries. U.S. patients get access to 74% of new drugs—only 28% in Canada. His point — other countries (that ban drug ads) aren't keen to have their citizens asking about drugs their national healthcare system doesn't offer.

Troy makes the case that today’s patients are more informed than ever. They come in asking about options, not just nodding along. That shift—toward transparency and empowerment—is a big reason DTC ads matter, even if doctors grumble about them.

Dan Troy argues that DTC ads changed the patient-doctor dynamic. People were emboldened to talk to their doctor about undiagnosed conditions. Asking about a drug led to productive conversations in the exam room about their symptoms.

Grogan puts it plainly: even drug execs get annoyed by direct-to-consumer ads—but they still run them. Why?

New @DCEKGpodcast: @RealJoeGrogan talks with former FDA Chief Counsel Dan Troy about drug advertising, patient access, and why U.S. health policy stands apart.

70% of GOP voters think nonprofit hospitals are jacking up drug prices—and they’re right. Once they learn how 340B fuels hospital monopolies and price hikes, support drops fast. Patients deserve lower costs, not shakedowns from nonprofits.
