This is a special bumper issue of THCB reader but first–don’t miss today’s #THCBGang with Ian Morrison, Jeff Goldsmith, Vince Kuraitis and Lygeia Riccardi joining me. 1pm PT -4pm ET right here.

We missed a week of THCB Reader so we have a lot of articles. Grace Cordovano reflects on HLTH through the lens of patients and caregivers. Kim Bellard discusses quantum computing’s Sputnik moment, is concerned that tech can’t fix health care’s problems and thinks breaking up is good to do. Gail Peace interrogates what we can do to combat physician burnout, Hans Duvefelt wonders what’s behind the mask, Mike Magee asks what the right to health care is worth and even whether democracy can survive without health security.

Scroll down for interviews galore on on WTF Health! Jess DaMassa chats with Included Health CEO Owen Tripp about the integration of his 3 companies (Doctor on Demand, Grand Rounds, and Included Health). She gets the details behind new female-focused company, Pollie. Jess also talks to Kelli Bravo from Pega about their consumer survey, interviews CareCentrix CEO John Driscoll about their acquisition by Walgreens, and manages to squeeze in an interview with Glen Tullman from Transcarent to talk Walmart–you wouldn’t want us to leave him out, would you!? Oh and yes, just because he’s raised $900m Jess thought she’d chat with Olive’s Sean Lane too!

We even squeezed in one episode of Health in 2 Point 00 (and yes we are behind and will be catching up this coming week!)

Finally last week’s #THCBGang featured fierce patient activist Casey Quinlan (@MightyCasey); cardiologist & provocateur Anish Koka (@anish_koka); patient activist, author & entrepreneur Robin Farmanfarmaian (@Robinff3); and THCB regular writer Kim Bellard (@kimbbellard).
