About this listen

In this eye-opening episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down with Shay Forbes, Head of Employer Solutions at Turquoise Health, to expose the shocking truth about healthcare pricing.


💥 Shay shares how the same MRI can cost $4,000 at a hospital—or just $450 across the street. Together, they dig into the hidden world of machine-readable files, price transparency laws, and how employers can take control of skyrocketing healthcare costs.


👉 You’ll learn:


- What the Hospital Price Transparency Act means for you

- How “machine-readable files” are changing the game

- Why your surgeon might be in-network—but the facility isn’t

- What employers can do to cut costs and improve care

- How Shay’s personal $27,000 medical bill inspired his mission


💡 Whether you're an HR leader, CFO, healthcare professional, or simply fed up with outrageous medical bills—this episode will give you tools, insight, and hope.
