Martin Ventures

“…the disparity between the medicine that we know how to give and what we are actually giving are miles apart…”

~CHARLIE MARTIN ON THE U.S. HEALTH SYSTEM

“Our healthcare system is failing us It is the reverse of everything we know about every other business and industry ”

~CHARLIE MARTIN ON FEE-FOR-SERVICE HEALTHCARE

“Healthcare is no longer about healing It is about keeping patients alive by treating them as much as we can and as often as we can Only when a patient is dead are they no longer a profitable endeavor ”

~CHARLIE MARTIN ON PROFIT AND GREED IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

“The healthcare system is a goldmine for the people running it Greed is driving the industry and the industry is being operated on the backs of common, unassuming Americans ”

~CHARLIE MARTIN ON HOSPITAL READMISSIONS

“Readmissions are a problem because there are too many admissions in the first place Hospitals are not incentivized to treat patients in a way that keeps them out of the hospital In our fee-for-service world, it’s just not profitable ”
