What do interior designers, CEOs, and conference-goers have in common? Strong opinions about healthcare. Vincent Catalano was in Orlando two weeks ago at KBIS, the National Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, alongside his wife, Kerrie Kelly, Chair of the Board of Directors for NKBA and CEO and Creative Director of Kerrie Kelly Studio. While there, he did what any good healthcare consultant would do: he started asking people how they'd fix the system. The answers? Refreshingly honest. In this solo episode, Vincent breaks down four themes that kept coming up in those conversations: Mental Health Access: Too many providers are out of network, leaving cash pay as the only option. And most employees don't even know their EAP exists. Insurance Complexity: Pre-authorizations, rising premiums, and zero transparency. For many families, health insurance now costs as much as a mortgage. US vs. Canada: A Canadian CEO at the show offered a perspective that stopped Vincent in his tracks. Healthcare as a national right, not a business. It's a contrast worth sitting with. Personal Responsibility: One attendee made a simple but powerful point. Fix yourself before you try to fix the system.
