Take Charge with HELPcare is a business-focused health care podcast that equips employers, HR leaders, and health care practitioners with practical strategies to control rising health plan costs and improve care quality. Hosted by Lee Aase (and often co-hosted by Dan Hinmon), episodes feature candid conversations with benefits consultants, physical therapists, physicians, and industry innovators about direct primary care, self-funded health plans, direct contracting, and value-based care models. Real-world case studies—like Mower County's documented savings—give the show credibility, blending data-driven insights with actionable advice. The tone is informative and consultative, appealing to HR executives, CFOs, business owners, brokers, and clinicians frustrated with traditional insurance models and seeking market-based alternatives. Recurring themes include escaping fee-for-service "hamster wheel" medicine, empowering employers as active health care buyers, and highlighting innovative partnerships that reduce costs while enhancing employee access to care. Ideal for listeners interested in health care reform, employee benefits strategy, and entrepreneurial approaches to medicine.
