Healthcare is one of the most complex—and frustrating—systems in America. So what does it really take to change it?

On this episode of Expressions of Leadership, I’m joined by David Silverstein, founder and CEO of Amaze Health, to talk about what it means to challenge powerful systems and lead with courage when the stakes are high.

In this conversation, we explore:

🔹What it takes to influence healthcare policy and drive transparency
🔹Why patient advocacy must come first
🔹How values guide tough leadership decisions
🔹The discipline required to build mission-driven companies
🔹How private-sector innovation can reshape patient-centered care

If you care about leadership, accountability, and fixing what feels broken—this episode is for you. 🎙️

Meet Lynn Sprunger, the primary care provider from yesterday’s inhaler story. When the patient called about the $677 inhaler quote, Lynn understood what was at stake.

She knew her patient had a high-deductible plan, and $677 a month wasn't affordable for the medication. Lynn also knew that without the long-acting inhaler, her patient's asthma could become uncontrolled and eventually land her in the ER.

So, Lynn did what Amaze Health providers do: she found a solution. She tracked down a manufacturer coupon. The cost dropped from $677 to $32 for the medication her patient needs to breathe normally.

"In other systems, providers don't have the time or support to help with affordability," Lynn says. "Patients go without medication and end up using the ER for crisis care instead of having a provider who helps them stay healthy. Having the ability to make that kind of impact and knowing I am backed by a full team that shares the same commitment is profoundly rewarding."

At Amaze Health, providers aren't watching the clock or rushing to the next patient. Lynn had the time and team support she needed to solve this problem.

"As healthcare continues to face unprecedented challenges, Amaze is at the forefront of filling those critical gaps," Lynn says. "I am proud to be part of a team that puts people first."

We believe everyone deserves someone like Lynn on their side. With Amaze Health, you can have that.

Amazing Care. Amazing People.

Earlier this week, a patient called one of our providers. She'd just left the pharmacy after learning her asthma inhaler would cost $677. She has a high-deductible plan, and she simply couldn't afford the out-of-pocket expense.

Lynn Sprunger, her Amaze Health provider, was able to track down a manufacturer coupon that dropped the price to $32 for the exact same medication. That's a savings of $645.

Most people don't realize that managing asthma often requires two different inhalers. The long-acting one is taken daily to prevent symptoms and keep the condition controlled. The short-acting rescue inhaler is for emergency relief when you can't breathe. This woman's long-acting inhaler is what keeps her asthma managed. Without it, her condition could quickly become uncontrolled and land her in the ER.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any budget-friendly versions for long-acting inhalers. Only a handful of long-acting inhalers work for each asthma patient, all of them cost hundreds of dollars, and switching to a different one isn't guaranteed to work. This particular inhaler is what keeps her feeling her best.

So what do people do when they can't afford it? Too often, they skip refills, ration what they have, and hope it lasts. Many may end up in the ER, which costs everyone far more than the inhaler would have cost in the first place.

You shouldn't have to hunt for manufacturer coupons or call pharmacies to compare prices. At Amaze Health, we do that work so that the people who depend on this medication can get it at a price they can afford.

We shouldn’t even have to write these words, but here goes: Nobody should end up in the ER because they couldn’t afford their inhaler.

Finally, a healthcare partner you can really fall for.

You know that feeling when you reach out, and someone's there for you? When they remember your name and what matters to you? When they check in the next day because they genuinely care how you're doing?

That's what healthcare should feel like. But most of the time, we know that it doesn't. You get rushed through appointments with providers who don't know you.

At Amaze Health, you are not just another name on the schedule. You get a team of providers who are there when you need them, whether that's at 3 a.m. or 3 p.m. Providers who remember you as a person, not a chart. A team that's with you through sick days and better days.

This Valentine's Day, experience what healthcare feels like when it's built on partnership.

So, about today ...the Monday after the Super Bowl is apparently known as "Super Sick Monday," when people calling out sick spike by about 45% compared to a normal workday. Some people are legitimately sick, some are exhausted, and some are just really, really sad about how that game ended.

If you're one of the people who really are sick with flu symptoms, sore throat, fever, or whatever's going around right now, Amaze Health is here for you. You can connect with a healthcare provider in seconds without needing an appointment. We'll diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication if needed. It's real care when you need it, not when it's convenient for the healthcare system.

When you're genuinely not feeling well, you shouldn't have to wait.
With Amaze health, you have access to care 24/7. Use it.

Healthy relationships don't just happen, they grow through everyday communication. When you're navigating conflict with a partner, struggling to communicate with a teenager, or feeling disconnected from the people who matter most, that stress affects everything including your focus and your energy. Most importantly, it affects your ability to show up for the people and things you care about.

Most healthcare stops at physical health. Amaze Health goes further.
This afternoon, our mental health team is hosting a webinar exclusively for Amaze members on relationship communication.

They will share the kind of practical skills that help you listen better, handle conflict more smoothly, and strengthen your most important relationships. These are tools you can use in everyday life to feel more connected and less stressed.

Your wellbeing is about more than just treating symptoms when you're sick. It's about helping you thrive in all the ways that matter.

That's what Amaze does differently.

Imagine calling your healthcare provider, and they answer. No phone tree asking you to press 1 for billing, 2 for appointments, 3 for prescriptions, and 0 to start over because you missed your option. No three-month wait for an appointment that gets moved twice before you finally see someone. No sitting in a waiting room for 45 minutes only to get seven rushed minutes with a provider who's already thinking about their next patient.

Just immediate access to care when you need it.

That's what you get with Amaze Health. Every single time you need care, someone answers—a real healthcare provider who has time to listen, diagnose, treat, and help. Healthcare shouldn't feel like you're asking for a favor. With Amaze, you call and get care. Simple as that.

That's what real access looks like and it's what you deserve.

Amazing care starts with amazing people. Meet Lori Sears, the patient advocate from our MRI story we shared yesterday.

When that member called about the $750 MRI quote, Lori didn't just find him a cheaper option; she found him choices he didn't know he had.

"The patient was very happy to learn he had choices in his care," Lori says. "Many people don't realize they have options, such as who they can see or where they can go for testing."

That's what Lori does every day: She looks at the big picture of what someone needs and figures out the best path forward. "We strive to go above and beyond for every patient, finding highly rated providers, affordable pricing, and the best information possible," she says. Not just the cheapest option, but the right one.

"I genuinely enjoy helping patients and taking the time to understand their needs. I love advocating for patients and anticipating what they may need next."

Everyone deserves someone in their corner who helps them see all their options. With Amaze, you have that.

Earlier this week, one of our patient advocates got a call from a member who'd been quoted $750 for an MRI. He thought that sounded high and wondered if we could help him find something better.

We found the same MRI 19 miles away for $213. It was the same scan, same quality, just $537 less.

Why does this happen? Honestly, there are a dozen reasons. Different facilities have different contract rates with different networks. Some may offer lower prices to fill empty appointment slots while others may charge more simply because they're part of a hospital system. The same service can cost wildly different amounts depending on where you go.

What we do know is this: Most people get one quote, assume that's "the price," and either pay it or skip the care they need.

You shouldn't have to spend hours calling around just to find out you're being overcharged. You have a job, a life, and enough to worry about already.

So,we make those calls instead. Every single day.

Because nobody should pay $750 for a $213 MRI just because they didn't know to ask.

This shouldn't be normal: Americans spend $4,000 a year out-of-pocket on healthcare. Even with insurance.

Every copay, every specialist visit, every surprise bill that shows up weeks later—it all adds up. And for a lot of families, healthcare costs are eating up 10% or more of their income.

So, what happens? You skip the appointment because of the $30 copay. You put off getting that nagging issue checked out. You avoid going to the doctor because you're not sure what it'll cost.

Small problems become bigger ones. And healthcare decisions get made based on your bank account, not your health.

Amaze Health works differently. For one low monthly subscription, you get 24/7 access to medical and mental health providers—with zero copays. No deductibles to hit. No surprise bills showing up weeks later.

Need to talk to a doctor at 2 a.m.? Covered. Mental health support on a Sunday? Included. Help fighting a confusing medical bill? We've got advocates for that too.

One predictable monthly fee. Comprehensive care whenever you need it. No financial barriers at the point of care.

Healthcare decisions should be about what you need, not what you can afford that day.

Feeling like everyone around you is sick right now? You're not wrong. This flu season is hitting harder than we've seen in years—with nearly double the hospitalizations compared to last season at this point. But here's the good news: It's not too late to protect yourself.

Flu season typically peaks in January or February, so getting your flu shot now can still make a real difference for the rest of the season. And yes, it's worth it. The vaccine helps keep you out of the hospital, reduces how severe your symptoms are, and shortens how long you're sick.

A few reminders as we navigate the next few weeks:
● Stay home when you're feeling sick. We know it's tempting to power through, but you'll only make it worse for yourself and everyone around you.
● Wash your hands like you mean it—warm water, 20 seconds, especially after being out and about.
● If you're unsure whether a flu shot makes sense for you or have questions about symptoms, don't guess. That's exactly what we're here for.

At Amaze, we're available 24/7 to help you and your family navigate flu season (and everything else). Whether you need care, advice, or just peace of mind—we've got you.

With Amaze Health, you have a healthcare partner ready to help you with both urgent and primary care needs, 24/7.

The Story of Amaze

The story of Amaze is rooted in the experience of its founder, David Silverstein. Back in 2011, while reviewing some of his own bills, David realized something was truly amiss in American healthcare, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. So, rather than simply paying often confusing and seemingly outrageous bills, he started disputing them. After some success forcing medical providers (mostly hospitals and hospital affiliated physicians) to answer his questions and to walk away from their bills, David formed a non-profit called Broken Healthcare to help other people do the same. Over the years, Broken Healthcare’s “Denial of Payment,” system became a model of revolt, empowering many patients to stand up for themselves and fight back against predatory billing.

In 2016, Broken Healthcare went from advocating for patients in billing disputes to using their stories to advocate for policy change. By 2019, David was at the White House, sitting down with the President and several patients from Colorado to discuss their bills and the changes that need to happen. A month later, new rules and regulations were announced. Now, change is in the hands of government lawyers.

In the meantime, David and some of the terrific people he met along the way decided that regardless of how things play out in Washington, another path to change was needed. So, they formed Amaze PBC, a for-profit Public Benefit Company dedicated to empowering people all over the country to take charge of their own healthcare. The founders of Amaze spent several years conducting research and talking to patients, employers, medical professionals, and many startup companies with bits and pieces of a solution to the complexity of healthcare—or what we call, “The Maze.”
