Healthcare on Trial is an independent voice of advocacy and accountability in healthcare — a podcast led by Kristen Rivers where the employers who fund healthcare and those held hostage by the system finally get their say
In a system built on misaligned incentives and manufactured complexity, Healthcare on Trial challenges the status quo and cross-examines the machinery that drives rising costs and declining trust. From PBM practices to stop-loss dynamics, fiduciary responsibility, and transparency reform, Kristen and her guests uncover what’s broken — and spotlight those working to fix it. Each episode is both an indictment and an invitation: to question entrenched models, to educate rather than react, and to see advocacy as the most powerful catalyst.
Some episodes pull back the curtain on dysfunction and distortion. Others go deep on solutions — highlighting innovators, consultants, and employers redefining what healthcare can be when incentives align. Because employers and members hold the real power to drive change — by demanding transparency, choosing differently, and reimagining what healthcare should stand for. This platform is to push that movement forward — a space to educate, challenge, and build the future of healthcare together.
