Hello Danger Corps!
There are few things that unite Americans faster than opening a medical bill and immediately wondering if you accidentally bought a used boat. This episode dives straight into the healthcare rage volcano, with viral videos, personal horror stories, and the horrifying realization that the system is not broken by accident. It is functioning exactly as designed, which somehow makes it even grosser.
Jim, Tiffany, and Nick break down the latest Gallup healthcare affordability numbers, the nightmare of insurance middlemen, the absurdity of mystery bills, and the Trump-era idea that maybe the answer to unaffordable healthcare is letting insurance companies become loan sharks. Because apparently the only thing missing from American medicine was a tiny mob boss in a billing department visor.
