Meet Peter Boland PhD

Host of More Health. Less Healthcare

Peter Boland brings 45 years of healthcare sector experience to the microphone — and a rare combination of deep industry knowledge, ethical clarity, and fearless inquiry. As host of More

Health. Less Healthcare, he challenges the status quo and initiates the kinds of honest conversations the industry too often avoids.

A widely respected strategist, author, and expert witness, Peter has spent decades forecasting healthcare market trends, dissecting the economic and ethical consequences of policy decisions, and confronting the hard truths behind why so much of America remains unwell.

His track record includes more than 100 published articles, five influential books on managed care, and years of

experience advising leaders across the healthcare spectrum.

What sets Peter apart is not just his knowledge — it’s his perspective. He understands that health is not simply a product of medicine, but of leadership, accountability, and social investment. His podcast doesn’t trade in soundbites or sales pitches. Instead, it asks unsettling questions: Why is

America still sick? Does our system truly value health? Who benefits from the status quo — and who pays the price?

More Health. Less Healthcare is where healthcare’s toughest questions meet principled analysis. It’s where Peter Boland continues doing what he’s done for decades: challenge assumptions, hold institutions accountable, and speak directly to what matters most — how we can generate better

health, at less cost, for more people.
