Honestly this episode kinda flopped for me, but that’s because I expected a more complex dialogue— hopefully this is a reminder to people that a billionaire won’t save us from another billionaire. His heart is in the right place, I’m eager to see costplus drugs expand
Great interview! I’m especially interested in https://CostPlus.com, I am wondering if hospitals will actually pass on the drug savings to patients or just pocket the extra savings.
Allison. This was an interesting take on the Trump Oligarch economic strategy by Cuban; good Interview.
The 1% pricks gunna get richer, any way they can.
Exciting lineup! Can't wait to hear @mcuban.bsky.social's thoughts on healthcare and how it intersects with tech and crypto. This episode sounds like a game changer for those thinking about the future of these sectors!
Hey! Listened to your chat for the first time. Great stuff!
A question for @mcuban.bsky.social about Cost Plus and why Medicare subscribers are ineligible? Simple medicines like Estrogen/Progesterone have TRIPLED since switching from private insurance which seems predatory. Can you help seniors?
I'm on Medicare and I get my Estradiol from Costplus. It's less than $15. Is that what you're asking or am I misunderstanding you? If I go through Part D it's very expensive, so I just have the doc escript it to Costplus.
Yes! Thank you. I tried to order but a notice came up that they don’t service Medicare? That’s incredibly cheap and what I was paying on BlueShield. Thank you so much, I’ll check it out!
Listening to Mark Cuban on your podcast this morning. His odd comments suggesting there’s some good reasons for us to support chump and his administration. This didn’t sit well with me. Hard pass. I’m glad you pushed back.
Just in case you're interested in a summary, showing the difference between times in America when the wealthy where taxed high and low and the impacts it had on our economy, here you go. Feel free to pass it along. Make your own opinion, don't let someone make it for you. THINK!!!!!!

This was a great interview. I really like Mark Cuban and the positive disruption he’s creating in healthcare. I also truly appreciate how you checked him when it was necessary.
Hey all, please help with phone banking for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Elon wants to buy this court. We need all hands on deck. You can call from any state. I hope to see you there.
have a couple of recommendations for new folks: Get the Google voice app and get a different phone number. If people pick up and they're being aggresive tell them to have a nice day and hang up. If people tell you they're busy be polite and say have a good day. Use one or two sentences
Please don’t platform another billionaire pushing crypto and AI. Even if he super promises he’s a good one - he isn’t. Good people aren’t billionaires.
off to listen! I have done Wellcare and GoodRX for so long. The messaging needs to be done more! Whether Mark or the others... the government could save so so so much. Off to listen to, as this would be one of the biggest money savers and I have done EVERY TIME with these companies vs. insurance
Cuban's goal should NOT be Health Care REVOLUTION. It should be EVOLUTION. One throws all of the good out with the bad. The other works to retain the good and change the bad. WE in Health Care do NOT appreciate being told we're shit and we have no idea what we're doing. We have worked...1/2
tirelessly to try to develop and maintain health care services that truly impact public health (everyone's health). We are human and make terrible mistakes but calling our centuries of dedication to people's lives shit is not the way to go...Is Cuban willing to work WITH us to try and evolve?
When people say REVOLUTION with Health Care, they are saying implicitly that what exists is shit. I don't need to hear the word to understand the intent. Same with Orange Shit & it's minions. They speak double talk but we all know their intent...and thank you for being in health care...
Some of the providers are the rich fucks. Many are not. I just hope Cuban takes a long look at all good of our evolution. He has the ability to finance some significant efforts to reform what all we have. But we're all getting tired of Billionaires throwing out the baby with the bath water...
We don't need to disrupt the US health care system. We need to revolutionize it with universal basic healthcare. Our health care should not be for profit. End of story.
Tesla Takedown didn’t come up in our discussion, but we have been promoting it on the pod. Yesterday we spoke to a national Tesla Takedown organizer Evan Sutton.

You kind of missed the blaring glimpse of the obvious problem with Alito's omlette argument... And omlette won't be used as a weapon unless you force feed it to someone with an egg allergy. You can't say the same about a gun. He was comparing Domino's to ping pong balls.
Saying we need to recognize when Trump does good things is the same as saying we need to recognize the good things Hitler did. I appreciate cost plus drugs for how it helps individuals. I do not appreciate another out-of-touch, billionaire's opinion. Just shut up dude. We'd like you more.
Hi, Allison. I heard the interview w/Mark Cuban. He actually said we have to accept there is good coming from Trump's admin and not just bad things. He is no democrat. Why didn't you ask him to detail what good Trump has done?
I liked your jab about the abusive hubby who bought you flowers 1 time.
Cuban is a billionaire of course he likes privatisation, tax cuts etc. He plays the good cop (billionaire) bad cop (billionaire) routine. Billionaires are partly why we're in this mess.
As billionaires go, Cuban is a bit more respectable as a self-made man. He seems to try to balance his inherent greed with some charity and generosity. Way more than others in his class. I just don't think he's being totally honest about Trump. Seems to be holding back real criticism.
Intimidated?

He could do the same with healthcare if provided the opportunity.
