In this episode, Shakil Haroon, founder and CEO of MPIRICA, joins us to discuss why quality, affordable healthcare is hard to find (Hint: It was designed to be this way.)

Shakil explains that hospitals have no interest in making quality data available because specialties with poor quality scores would lose revenue. With this in mind, Shakil created the MPIRICA Quality Score system to help patients find the best places to receive care.
