How do you provide quality healthcare to thousands of employees—many of them hourly, spread across multiple states—with costs rising and transparency shrinking?


In this eye-opening episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down with seasoned HR leader Amanda White, who pulls back the curtain on what it's really like to manage benefits for a workforce where affordability isn’t a perk—it’s survival.


🎧 What you'll hear:

  • The impossible decisions HR must make between cost and care.
  • The truth about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic—and why they’re exploding your plan.
  • How "free" benefits like amusement park discounts matter more than you think.
  • The quiet war between HR, brokers, and big insurance—and who really wins.
  • Why avoiding high-deductible plans might be the smartest move you've never made.

This isn’t theory. This is real-world leadership in a broken system.


🔔 Subscribe for honest, practical conversations that expose the cracks in U.S. healthcare—and spotlight the people fighting to fix it.


👉 Share this episode with your HR and benefits team. It might save your company—and your people.
