💣 From Collapse to Comeback: Meet Marilyn Bartlett, the CPA who turned a broken $200M state health plan into a national model — and didn’t blink when it meant rewriting the rules of the healthcare game.


💥 The Big Moves:

  • Fired the PBM and exposed the hidden middlemen 💼
  • Brought reference-based pricing to the table 💵
  • Negotiated directly with hospitals using Medicare rates 🏥
  • Saved millions — without cutting a single employee benefit 📉✅

👀 Why it Matters: This episode pulls back the curtain on healthcare pricing games and shows exactly how bold leadership and hard data can drive real change.


🎯 For: CFOs, HR leaders, brokers, reform advocates, and anyone sick of being gaslit by the U.S. healthcare system.


🔊 Don’t miss this explosive conversation with a true healthcare rebel.
