Show Notes
Dr. Keith Smith recounts how the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and the Free Market Medical Association are exposing the hospital–insurance cartel—posting honest, bundled prices, triggering price wars, and proving that free-market medicine can deliver higher quality care at a fraction of the cost.
Recorded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on February 21, 2026. Special thanks to Michael and Beverley Starkey and Gil Robinson for sponsoring this event.
