It starts out, across multiple seasons, describing and contextualizing the American healthcare system’s challenges which...”Read full review »

“It’s hard to believe a show about healthcare in the US can be uplifting and informative, but Dan Weisman has done it! I learn so much about what I should be prepared for when dealing with my insurance and what I, as an individual, can even do. Absolutely love this podcast.”

“I often find myself getting choked up listening to the show - when I was 22 I experienced a bit of a mysterious medical situation in post-Katrina New Orleans. What followed was tens of thousands of dollars of medical bills (despite being insured), and most memorably a collection agent yelling at...”Read full review »

“Great podcast with practical tips. However, I wish the healthcare offenders would be named and shamed. Not in a way to break laws, but just the facts. This, I believe, would do amazing good to perform this broken industry.”

This podcast helps me to understand the details and provides me tools I share with my patients to help with medical bills.
