The Cuban Patient Scorecard: Final Tally

I spent six weeks dissecting Mark Cuban’s healthcare revolution.

Here’s what I found:

• He called PBMs cartels. TRUE.

• He proved drugs cost 99% less to make. TRUE.

• He told Congress exactly how to fix it. TRUE.

• He made the industry applaud their own guilt. TRUE.

• He gave 35 million cancer survivors proof we were right. TRUE.

But here’s what matters more:

Cuban didn’t come to healthcare as a tourist. He came as a capitalist who discovered the market was rigged. He published the receipts. He named the criminals. He showed up where nobody expected him.

Cost Plus Drugs saved Medicare $2 billion on seven drugs. That’s not disruption, rather evidence of decades of theft.

He told senators that surgeons saving lives make less than hospital parking garages. He gave them four fixes that would work tomorrow. He called healthcare simple because the math IS simple when you stop lying about it.

I’ve been in this fight since cancer tried to kill me at 21. I’ve buried more friends than I can count. Every one of them died knowing the system could have saved them if profit wasn’t the point.

Cuban gets half of it right. The math. The transparency. The rage at the machine.

The other half requires sitting with patients who know where the bodies are buried. Because we buried them.

My invitation stands. Come to Washington. We have work to do.

Read the full scorecard. Share it with someone who needs ammunition for their next insurance appeal. Or their next congressional visit. Or their next fight to stay alive.

Mark Cuban, you changed the game. Now help us end it.
