“This podcast puts in the work, delivering information and insights that help to explain health and healthcare issues. So many podcasts are simply promoting fads and products - this doesn’t.”

“I am a 20 year BH professional. This podcast started out honest, fair, and reflective of so many challenges to our imperfect healthcare system. I consider myself politically neutral and appreciate the objectivity. Unfortunately, the most recent episode shifted to a political “side” and seemed...”Read full review »

“Working in healthcare, I totally get how dysfunctional our healthcare system is.
This podcast brings so many great discussions that we need to engage so we can provide high value care (quality care at low cost).”

“Uninformed and wrong podcast. Never gets into personal responsibility. Admits that the problems with insurance only started because of government interference and socialist actions but thinks that more socialism is the answer!”

“As a “healthcare provider” I have been shielded from the realities of how the system actually works. Exploiting us as pawns and as consumers of the very same system. not only is this podcast informative, it guides listeners on how to advocate for ourselves.. this system can’t continue to work as...”Read full review »

“This podcast combines horror stories from the U.S. healthcare system with the most inane market-based “solutions” which wouldn’t change anything. Instead of getting billionaires to pay taxes and finance health care, we are told that patients should call their insurance while they are in an...”Read full review »

“I’m so grateful to live in Australia. Our system isn’t perfect but never would I have to worry about calling an ambulance or getting a scan that costs in the thousands or even just going into any sort of debt for medical procedures. Very interesting but also scary.”

“Having experienced UK (NHS) and decades of for profit American health care for my chronic issues this is my take on this podcast.
Focus on anecdotal experiences and graphic tragic outcomes doesn’t illustrate the everyday mindset and relationship with health care of most Americans.

“As someone who watched a lot of medical dramas growing up (E.R., Chicago Hope etc) I’ve long been intrigued and horrified by a system that allows people to go bankrupt because they happen to get sick, or asks them for their insurance details when they’re first wheeled in to the E.R. from the...”Read full review »

“Thank you for this enlightening series.

“I own a small business. After Obamacare I could only afford the premium not any healthcare. I’m sorry but it’s unfair that Thst small businesses pay for Medicaid where people can use theER as a primary dr. And I have to think twice if I have a legit emergency.
