Meidas Health: Changemakers Take on Goliath (i.e., the American Health Insurance Industry)
On Episode 12 of Meidas Health, Dr. Vin Gupta speaks with Drs. Potter and Bokhari about fighting insurance denials and putting patients first.
In a powerful episode of Meidas Health, host Dr. Vin Gupta sits down with two frontline advocates fighting back against a broken health insurance system: Dr. Elisabeth Potter, a reconstructive plastic surgeon serving breast cancer patients across the country, and Dr. Warris Bokhari, the CEO of GetClaimable.com, a company that’s helping patients overturn unjust denials with an 80% success rate.
Together, they shed light on the devastating impact of insurance company roadblocks—from denying nerve grafts that preserve breast sensation to blocking lifesaving transplants and asthma treatments. Dr. Potter shares her journey from viral whistleblower to national advocate, recounting how UnitedHealthcare tried to discredit her after she spoke out about an appalling interruption during surgery. Dr. Bokhari details how his platform uses AI to empower patients and now partners with litigators to hold insurers accountable for systemic abuse.
Both doctors agree: this is a crisis affecting everyone, no matter how “good” their insurance plan looks on paper. But they also see hope—through grassroots action, employer pressure during open enrollment, and a shift toward direct care models that bypass insurers altogether.
Tune in to Episode 12 of Meidas Health to hear how these changemakers are reclaiming power from insurers—and why now is the moment for real, bottom-up reform. You can listen to all past episodes of Meidas Health at the links below.
