Ralph Weber sits down with Nurse Deb Ault, a former ICU nurse who walked away from the bedside after a patient died due to profit-driven care. She now runs AIMM, a patient-centered care management firm with a 3% denial rate and Validation Institute–verified results. They talk PPO discount myths, P3CM, proactive navigation, and why DPCs are turning to AIMM to close the gap. If you’re tired of feeding a broken system, this one’s for you.

What happens when healthcare is free, but access is dangerously limited? In this episode of The Benefit Whisperer, host Ralph Weber is joined by Dr. Raymond Rupert, Canadian physician and founder of RCM Health, to pull back the curtain on Canada’s single-tier system.

They discuss:

  • The long and often life-threatening wait times for diagnosis, surgery, and specialty care

  • Why Canada, Cuba, and North Korea are the only countries in the world with true single-tier healthcare

  • How patients fall through the cracks without advocacy and second opinions

  • The psychological toll of delayed care on patients and families

  • What U.S. employers can learn before chasing the illusion of “free” healthcare

Dr. Rupert shares powerful real-world stories of patients who were saved by proactive navigation, global networks, and second opinions. Ralph connects the dots to U.S. employer-sponsored plans and explains why transparency, accountability, and competition are the real keys to reform.

If you’ve ever wondered what “zero cost, zero access” really looks like, this episode is a must-listen.
