“I love the health policy “sensemaking” by way of stories! Very timely discussions. Very authentic stories. And not afraid to touch on the controversial aspects of health policy. One of my fave podcasts of all time!”

“Listened to Nicholson's interview and enjoyed that conversation. A good episode for diving deep on the privacy of the patient with the use of AI. Saddened by the news of the girl regarding about her pregnancy. Hope she is doing well now.”Read full review »

“I just found this podcast and binge-listened to like 2 years worth and it's TOTALLY important information that I wish made the general news. But you don't ever ask your the reality-check questions that would make them question their own basic assumptions. Like the politician who was kinda...”Read full review »

“This podcast covers interesting topics but is often oversimplified. Overall I would say it seems substantively pretty good. However, I find it sometimes hard to listen to because the interviews always feel so unnatural and scripted. There’s just something off about the way everyone speaks.”

“Tradeoffs make complex healthcare matters easy to understand by blending top research with first-person narratives. Healthcare policy impacts all of us and Tradeoffs helps us understand where the challenges are and how to take action to improve upon them.”

“I get it, if you want to be sexy, you have to be dramatic. But this show almost always fails to keep it real by sensationalizing health care doom and gloom. Most recently, on medical debt, which is supposedly destroying the country, 100 million Americans have $140 Billion in debt!!! Do the...”Read full review »

“The entire concept that we can only have decent healthcare if there are trade offs is disgusting. Everyone deserves equal access to free healthcare. Why should the rich be taken care of and the poor die young? Listen to The Death Panel.”

“Excellent podcast. As a retired RN/Public Health Nurse, I find the content to be of great import and interesting.

“Some episodes have good content, but any topic on public policy flows like this:
1) Some people are being harmed by X
2) This policy that Democrats like will help
3) Republicans block it because they’re mean
Maybe Republicans believe policy X is harmful or counter-productive? There are important...”Read full review »
