How The System is Failing Our Seniors

In this episode, Kevin Rosenquist and John Banks sit down with Jason Banks, a nursing home administrator with over 30 years of experience, to discuss the structural atrophy of the American healthcare system. We dive into the critical staffing shortages facing nurses, doctors, and at-home providers, and why many healthcare workers are experiencing moral injury rather than simple burnout. Jason shares firsthand accounts of the impact of private equity on long-term care, the bottleneck in nursing education that turned away 80,000 qualified applicants in 2024, and how AI might actually be a lifesaver for an overtaxed workforce. We also discuss practical steps for families, including the vital importance of having a patient advocate in any clinical setting.
