In this solo episode of 'Relentless Health Value,' host Stacey Richter dives into the intricate relationship between increased emergency room (ER) visits and the lack of access to effective primary care. Discussing insights from recent episodes featuring experts like Matt McQuide, Dr. Christine Hale, and others, Stacey explores how inadequate primary care leads to skyrocketing ER costs, which now account for 6% of total healthcare spending. 

Key points include the systemic issues driving this trend, the incentives misalignments within hospitals and insurance carriers, and the importance of establishing trust and relationships in primary care. The episode also discusses perspectives from healthcare professionals and thought leaders on potential solutions to realign healthcare incentives and improve patient outcomes.
