The Rojas Report
Physicians Are Losing the War and They Do Not Seem to Want to Save Themselves!
In this conversation, Heath breaks down the brutal math reshaping American healthcare:
1.1 million physicians left.
68% employed by health systems.
12% employed by Optum.
6% by private equity.
Barely 220,000 independent—and shrinking.
We talk plainly about:
• Why physicians “had the opportunity of a lifetime in the last six months” and missed it
• How hospitals weaponize provider taxes, subsidies, and politics
• Why premiums are now the second-largest financial burden after taxes
• What’s really driving 20% of GDP in healthcare spending
• Why DC never sides with physicians—and how the AHA keeps winning
• The math behind a consumer uprising that’s already underway
Heath also reveals the untold story of physician-owned hospitals, the billion-dollar arbitrage that keeps independent doctors locked out, and why the next 12 months will decide the future of the profession.
If you’re a physician who wants independence, leverage, and a path out of the health system trap, this episode is a wake-up call.
