The FMMA and our members represent a glitch in the matrix of the crony healthcare system that was not constructed for the benefit of patients, physicians, or employers.
Taking red pill of price transparency between willing buyers and sellers of medical care is waking up many across the country.
Join this transformational and revolutionary movement as we share success stories from physicians, employers, benefit advisors, and entrepeneurs who have walked through the door to the freedom outside.
Our 2021 keynote speaker will be Steve Forbes, who has been long-term champion of free enterprise. Mr. Forbes has been a vocal opponent to the Affordable Care Act and has featured FMMA co-founder, Dr. Keith Smith on his podcast.
Other speakers and sessions will highlight the growing movement of large health systems toward transparency, innovations in direct care and direct contracting, as well as major employer success stories. This is the conference you do not want to miss.
As Morpheus says in The Matrix:
“You have to understand, most people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will try to protect it.”
