“My god this is an amazing podcast. As someone who works in the healthcare industry, we need to be more informed about the behemoth insurance companies, healthcare being continually a huge expense for ALL of us. This podcast MUST be on the top podcast list.”

“I am a physician in US. The Healthcare system here is unbelievable complex. I see how it just does not make sense.
This podcast helps me to understand the details and provides me tools I share with my patients to help with medical bills.
Great info, excellent reporting.
