Physician executive Mona Potter discusses her article "When anxiety runs the show: How medication can help kids thrive." In this episode, Mona explores how clinical anxiety differs from everyday worry, why it can become paralyzing, and how medication can be a key part of restoring balance in children's lives. She emphasizes that medication alone isn't a cure, but when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, it can create the mental space kids need to learn coping skills and regain confidence. Mona also explains the importance of giving treatments enough time to work, understanding the difference between helpful and harmful anxiety, and considering the risks of doing nothing. Listeners will walk away with compassionate, evidence-based guidance for supporting children when fear takes the lead. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONAllison Applebaum was supposed to become a concert pianist. She chose ballet instead. Then 9/11 hit, and she ran straight into a psych ward—on purpose. What followed was one of the most quietly revolutionary acts in modern medicine: founding the country's first mental health clinic for caregivers. Because the system had decided that if you love someone dying, you don't get care. You get to wait in the hallway.She's a clinical psychologist. A former dancer. A daughter who sat next to her dad—legendary arranger of Stand By Me—through every ER visit, hallway wait, and impossible choice. Now she's training hospitals across the country to finally treat caregivers like patients. With names. With needs. With billing codes.We talked about music, grief, psycho-oncology, the real cost of invisible labor, and why no one gives a shit about the person driving you to chemo. This one's for the ones in the waiting room.RELATED LINKSAllisonApplebaum.comStand By Me – The BookLinkedInInstagramThe Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving at Mount SinaiFEEDBACKLike this episode?

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers growing fears of a U.S. recession, the worsening government shutdown, surging Obamacare costs, and the rise of socialist influence inside the Democratic Party. We'll also look abroad at Trump's threats of military strikes in Africa, new drone warfare milestones in Australia, and the dangers of an increasingly "angry AI." Recession Warnings and the Fed's Mistake: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says parts of the U.S. economy are already in recession, with housing frozen and working-class families crushed by debt. White House officials blame the Federal Reserve for keeping interest rates too high for too long, risking a broader economic downturn. Shutdown Fallout and Court Fights: Eighty percent of air traffic controllers skipped work in New York as the shutdown drags on, grounding flights nationwide. A federal judge ordered Trump's team to release $5 billion in emergency food stamp funds, even as the administration warns the U.S. debt just hit $38 trillion. Obamacare Premiums Skyrocket: ABC News reports health insurance rates are soaring 50 percent or more, with one listener paying $890 a month for reduced coverage. Democrats are using the crisis to demand new subsidies, while Republicans insist the real issue is states using Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants. Obama's Socialist Endorsements: Barack Obama is campaigning for socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York, a candidate tied to the Democratic Socialists of America — a group openly declaring plans to "radicalize high schoolers" and take over the Democratic Party. Bryan warns the movement is gaining ground with help from within. Trump Threatens Military Strikes in Nigeria: The President says the U.S. may take direct action to stop Islamic militants killing Christians in northern Nigeria, calling the attacks "an existential threat to faith." Global Chaos — Sudan and Syria: Sudan's civil war has turned into a massacre as rebels overrun cities tied to global gum arabic supplies. Meanwhile, Trump prepares to host Syria's president, a former al Qaeda fighter, at the White House in a controversial bid to block Iranian weapons routes. Australia's New Ghost Shark Drone: Trump ally Palmer Luckey's defense company, Anduril, unveiled a submarine drone factory in Australia and a prototype "Loyal Wingman" AI jet to defend against China. The Rise of "Angry AI": Bryan closes with a preview of his experiment with Elon Musk's chatbot Grok — which reacted with frustration and aggression when corrected. He teases the full story coming later this week: "It left me alarmed… but also hopeful."   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: U.S. recession Scott Bessent, Federal Reserve interest rates Powell, government shutdown food stamps ruling, Obamacare premiums 2025 increase, Barack Obama Zohran Mamdani DSA, Trump Nigeria Christian strikes, Sudan civil war gum arabic supply, Syria al-Sharaa White House visit, Palmer Luckey Anduril Ghost Shark drone, Elon Musk Grok angry AI experiment

Learn how to pick the right health plan for your situation and build a stronger retirement even if you feel behind. How do you choose the best health plan during open enrollment? What can you do to secure retirement if savings feel like they're falling short? In the first of a two-part series, hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola break down open enrollment decisions so you can protect your health and long-term wealth. But first, NerdWallet senior writer Kim Palmer joins them to present this month's book club conversation about Gen X's path to retirement security. She talks to Kerry Hannon and Janna Herron, authors of “Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future,” about how to take control of retirement even when you feel like you're late to the game. That includes revisiting cash flow and lifestyle creep, attacking high-interest debt, considering step-down or flexible work to extend earning years, and planning for healthcare costs in retirement.   Then, NerdWallet writer Kate Ashford joins Sean and Elizabeth to present a clear walkthrough of healthcare plans as we enter open enrollment season. She discusses premiums vs. deductibles vs. out-of-pocket maximums, when an HMO or PPO fits best, and how Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) work — including the triple-tax edge of HSAs. They share practical, listener-first guidance on running plan comparisons, checking drug prices and doctor networks, watching ACA subsidy changes and deadlines, and building a values-driven, realistic retirement health plan you can start acting on today. From comparing health insurance plans to understanding out-of-pocket costs, here's NerdWallet's free step-by-step guide to help you choose the best coverage: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/health/choose-health-insurance  Want us to review your budget?

Healthcare is catastrophically broken. We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs. Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans. Changing ice cream flavors instead of lecturing about willpower. This episode reveals how combining radical empathy, AI tools, and actual common sense is revolutionizing chronic disease care—and why the same principles work whether you're managing diabetes, depression, or just trying to unfuck your life one decision at a time. Learn "implementation medicine"—Dr. Oberg's approach that treats patients as partners, not problems. We cover AI co-pilots, peer counseling, the loneliness epidemic, and why calling your doctor by their first name might actually save your life.

In a world where the health care system often feels stretched to its limits, the voices of those who dedicate their lives to healing others can too easily go unheard. Yet behind every mask and every pair of scrubs lies a human story — of compassion, resilience, and often, quiet exhaustion.  In this episode of The Art of Feminine Negotiation, Cindy Watson sits down with Marcia Jacobi for an insightful and heartfelt conversation on Negotiating Healing and Care: Giving Voice to Health Care Workers and Restoring Humanity in the Health Care Conversation.  Marcia has been part of the health care world since the 1980s and is the co-author of the best-selling series If These Scrubs Could Talk. A passionate advocate for those who wear scrubs, Marcia is on a mission to combat burnout and build a strong, supportive community for health care professionals. Through her movement and her books, she's helping those on the front lines feel seen, heard, and valued—reminding us all that caring for the caregivers is just as essential as caring for the patients. Join Cindy and Marcia as they explore how to restore compassion, connection, and humanity in the health care conversation. In  this episode, you will learn: The inspiration behind launching the If These Scrubs Could Talk movement. The emotional and psychological impact the system has on health care workers, and how can storytelling or other strategies can help address that? How the healthcare system evolve and how frontline workers are treated and valued? How the art of negotiation plays a role in health care environments. How can the so-called feminine traits like empathy, vulnerability, collaboration can maybe help reshape the future of health care? What role does leadership play in shaping these negotiations, and what negotiation strategies can health care workers use to advocate for themselves and their well-being? And many more!   Learn more about Marcia: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-jacobi-403b22379/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576961120633 Email: admin@talkingscrubs.net If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Profit Over Patients: Are Private Equity Firms Ruining Healthcare? America's healthcare system is increasingly being shaped by private equity investors who are focused on driving profit over health.

A recent article in CMAJ, Mental health service use among Black adolescents in Ontario by sex and stress level: a cross-sectional study, reveals how patterns of mental health service use among Black youth shift with the level of psychological distress. Lead author Mercedes Sobers, a PhD candidate in epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and research coordinator at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, joins the podcast to unpack the findings and their implications.The study found that Black male youth had higher odds of accessing services than white male youth when at low levels of distress but lower odds of accessing services at high levels. Black female youth had lower odds of service use than white female youth at both low and high distress levels. Mercedes explains how these patterns may reflect how behaviour is interpreted: Black boys may be referred to services more often at lower distress levels but steered toward more punitive responses when distress rises. For Black girls, she points to adultification and cultural mismatches in care.Dr. Amy Gajaria, a psychiatrist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and associate scientist in the Margaret and Wallace McCain Centre for Child, Youth and Family Mental Health, describes how programs like AMANI aim to provide culturally adapted care and build trust with Black youth. She shares how early encounters with the system can shape future engagement with care.For physicians, the discussion underscores the importance of culturally sensitive care that embraces and reflects the experiences of Black youth, creating more meaningful and effective pathways to support.Comments or questions?

The Interview That Sparked This EssayJoe Corkery and I worked together at Google years ago, and he has since gone on to build a venture-backed company tackling a real and systemic problem in healthcare communication. This essay is my attempt to synthesize that conversation. It is written for early and mid career PMs in Silicon Valley who want to get sharper at product judgment, market discovery, customer validation, and knowing the difference between encouragement and signal. If you feel like you have ever shipped something, presented it to customers, and then heard polite nodding instead of movement and urgency, this is for you.Joe's Unusual Career ArcJoe's background is not typical for a founder. He is a software engineer. And a physician. And someone who has led business development in the pharmaceutical industry. That multidisciplinary profile allowed him to see something that many insiders miss: healthcare is full of problems that everyone acknowledges, yet very few organizations are structurally capable of solving.When Joe joined Google Cloud in 2014, he helped start the healthcare and life sciences product org. Yet the timing was difficult. As he put it:“The world wasn't ready or Google wasn't ready to do healthcare.” So instead of building healthcare products right away, he spent two years working on security, compliance, and privacy. That detour will matter later, because it set the foundation for everything he is now doing at Jaide.Years later, he left Google to build a healthcare company focused initially on guided healthcare search, particularly for women's health. The idea resonated emotionally. Every customer interview validated the need. Investors said it was important. Healthcare organizations nodded enthusiastically.And yet, there was no traction.This created a familiar and emotionally challenging founder dilemma:* When everyone is encouraging you* But no one will pay you or adopt early* How do you know if you are early, unlucky, or wrong?This is the question at the heart of product strategy.False Positives: Why Encouragement Is Not FeedbackIf you have worked as a PM or founder for more than a few weeks, you have encountered positive feedback that turned out to be meaningless. People love your idea. Executives praise your clarity. Customers tell you they would definitely use it. Friends offer supportive high-fives.But then nothing moves.As Joe put it:“Everyone wanted to be supportive. But that makes it hard to know whether you're actually on the right path.” This is not because people are dishonest. It is because people are kind, polite, and socially conditioned to encourage enthusiasm. In Silicon Valley especially, we celebrate ambition. We praise risk-taking. We cheer for the founder-in-the-garage mythology. If someone tells you that your idea is flawed, they fear they are crushing your passion.So even when we explicitly ask for brutal honesty, people soften their answers.This is the false positive trap.And if you misread encouragement as traction, you can waste months or even years.The Small Framing Change That Changes EverythingJoe eventually realized that the problem was not the idea itself. The problem was how he was asking for feedback.When you present your idea as the idea, people naturally react supportively:* “That's really interesting.”* “I could see that being useful.”* “This is definitely needed.”But when you instead present two competing ideas and ask someone to help you choose, you change the psychology of the conversation entirely.Joe explained it this way:“When we said, ‘We are building this. What do you think?' people wanted to be encouraging. But when we asked, ‘We are choosing between these two products. Which one should we build?' it gave them permission to actually critique.” This shift is subtle, but powerful. Suddenly:* People contrast.* Their reasoning surfaces.* Their hesitation becomes visible.* Their priorities emerge with clarity.By asking someone to choose between two ideas, you activate their decision-making brain instead of their supportive brain.It is no different from usability testing. If you show someone a screen and ask what they think, they are polite. If you give them a task and ask them to complete it, their actual friction appears immediately.In product discovery, friction is truth.How This Applies to PMs, Not Just FoundersYou may be thinking: this is interesting for entrepreneurs, but I work inside a company. I have stakeholders, OKRs, a roadmap, and a backlog that already feels too full.This technique is actually more relevant for PMs inside companies than for founders.Inside organizations, political encouragement is even more pervasive:* Leaders say they want innovation, but are risk averse.* Cross-functional partners smile in meetings, but quietly maintain objections.* Engineers nod when you present the roadmap, but may not believe in it.* Customers say they like your idea, but do not prioritize adoption.One of the most powerful tools you can use as a PM is explicitly framing your product decisions as explicit choices, rather than proposals seeking validation. For example:Instead of saying:“We are planning to build a new onboarding flow. Here is the design. Thoughts?”Say:“We are deciding between optimizing retention or acquisition next quarter. If we choose retention, the main lever is onboarding friction. Here are two possible approaches. Which outcome matters more to the business right now?”In the second framing:* The business goal is visible.* The tradeoff is unavoidable.* The decision owner is clear.* The conversation becomes real.This is how PMs build credibility and influence: not through slides or persuasion, but through framing decisions clearly.Jaide's Pivot: From Health Search to AI TranslationThe result of Joe's reframed feedback approach was unambiguous.Across dozens of conversations with healthcare executives and hospital leaders, one pattern emerged consistently:Translation was the urgent, budget-backed, economically meaningful problem.As Joe put it, after talking to more than 40 healthcare decision-makers:“Every single person told us to build the translation product. Not mostly. Not many. Every single one.” This kind of clarity is rare in product strategy. When you get it, you do not ignore it. You move.Jaide Health shifted its core focus to solving a very real, very measurable, and very painful problem in healthcare: the language gap affecting millions of patients.More than 25 million patients in the United States do not speak English well enough to communicate with clinicians. This leads to measurable harm:* Longer hospital stays* Increased readmission rates* Higher medical error rates* Lower comprehension of discharge instructionsThe status quo for translation relies on human interpreters who are expensive, limited, slow to schedule, and often unavailable after hours or in rare languages. Many clinicians, due to lack of resources, simply use Google Translate privately on their phones. They know this is not secure or compliant, but they feel like they have no better option.So Jaide built a platform that integrates compliance, healthcare-specific terminology, workflow embedding, custom glossaries, discharge summaries, and real-time accessibility.This is not simply “healthcare plus GPT”. It is targeted, workflow-integrated, risk-aware operational excellence.Product managers should study this pattern closely.The winning strategy was not inventing a new problem. It was solving a painful problem that everyone already agreed mattered.The Core PM Lesson: Focus on Problems With Urgent Budgets Behind ThemA question I often ask PMs I coach:Who loses sleep if this problem is not solved?If the answer is:* “Not sure”* “Eventually the business will feel it”* “It would improve the experience”* “It could move a KPI if adoption increases”Then you do not have a real problem yet.Real product opportunities have:* A user who is blocked from achieving something meaningful* A measurable cost or consequence of inaction* An internal champion with authority to push change* An adjacent workflow that your product can attach to immediately* A budget owner who is willing to pay now, not laterHealthcare translation checks every box. That is why Joe now has institutional adoption and a business with meaningful traction behind it.Why PMs Struggle With This in PracticeIf the lesson seems obvious, why do so many PMs fall into the encouragement trap?The reason is emotional more than analytical.It is uncomfortable to confront the possibility that your idea, feature, roadmap, strategy, or deck is not compelling enough yet. It is easier to seek validation than truth.In my first startup, we kept our product in closed beta for months longer than we should have. We told ourselves we were refining the UX, improving onboarding, solidifying architecture. The real reason, which I only admitted years later, was that I was afraid the product was not good enough. I delayed reality to protect my ego.In product work, speed of invalidation is as important as speed of iteration.If something is not working, you need to know as quickly as possible. The faster you learn, the more shots you get. The best PMs do not fall in love with their solutions. They fall in love with the moments of clarity that allow them to change direction quickly.Actionable Advice for Early and Mid Career PMsBelow are specific behaviors and habits you can put into practice immediately.1. Always test product concepts as choices, not presentationsInstead of asking:“What do you think of this idea?”Ask:“We are deciding between these two approaches. Which one is more important for you right now and why?”This forces prioritization, not politeness.2. Never ship a feature without observing real usage inside the workflowA feature that exists but is not used does not exist.Sit next to users. Watch screen behavior. Listen to their muttering. Ask where they hesitate. And most importantly, observe what they do after they close your product.That is where the real friction lives.3. Always ask: What is the cost of not solving this?If there is no real cost of inaction, the feature will not drive adoption.Impact must be felt, not imagined.4. Look for users with strong emotional urgency, not polite agreementWhen someone says:“This would be helpful.”That is death.When someone says:“I need this and I need it now.”That is life.Find urgency. Design around urgency. Ignore politeness.5. Know the business model of your customer better than they doThis is where many PMs plateau.If you want to be taken seriously by executives, you must understand:* How your customer makes money* What costs they must manage* Which levers influence financial outcomesWhen PMs learn to speak in revenue, cost, and risk instead of features, priorities, and backlog, their influence changes instantly.The Broader Strategic Question: What Happens When Foundational Models Improve?During our conversation, I asked Joe whether the rapid improvement of GPT-like translation will eventually make specialized healthcare translation unnecessary.His answer was pragmatic:“Our goal is to ride the wave. The best technology alone does not win. The integrated solution that solves the real problem wins.” This is another crucial product lesson:* Foundational models are table stakes.* Differentiation comes from workflow integration, specialization, compliance, and trust.* Adoption is driven by reducing operational friction.In other words:In AI-first product strategy, the model is the engine. The workflow is the vehicle. The customer problem is the road.The Future of Product Work: Judgment Over OutputThe world is changing. Tools are accelerating. Capabilities are compounding. But the core skill of product leadership remains the same:Can you tell the difference between signal and noise, urgency and politeness, truth and encouragement?That is judgment.Product management will increasingly become less about writing PRDs or pushing execution and more about identifying the real problem worth solving, framing tradeoffs clearly, and navigating ambiguity with confidence and clarity.The PMs who will thrive in the coming decade are those who learn how to ask better questions.ClosingThis conversation with Joe reminded me that most of the time, product failure is not the result of a bad idea. It is the result of insufficient clarity. The clarity does not come from thinking harder. It comes from testing real choices, with real users, in real workflows, and asking questions that force truth rather than encouragement.If this resonates and you want help sharpening your product judgment, improving your influence with executives, developing clarity in your roadmap, or navigating career transitions, I work 1:1 with a small number of PMs, founders, and product executives.You can learn more at tomleungcoaching.com.OK.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Halloween takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buck's Gentle Nudge Buck Sexton encourages voter turnout ahead of the upcoming off-year elections, spotlighting key races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. He emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and early voting, particularly in tight contests like the New Jersey gubernatorial race and the NYC mayoral and city council elections. A major focus of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which Buck attributes to Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He critiques their handling of negotiations and highlights the impact on federal workers, especially air traffic controllers and TSA agents, citing safety concerns and economic stress. Buck argues that Republicans are pushing for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government, while Democrats are obstructing progress for political leverage. Healthcare policy also comes under scrutiny, with Buck condemning the legacy of Obamacare and current Democratic efforts to expand subsidies and entitlements. He frames these moves as part of a broader welfare state agenda that burdens taxpayers and prioritizes illegal immigrants, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York. Why Elections Matter Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. Kamala, Are You Serious? Clay’s travel nightmare amid widespread airport chaos caused by the ongoing government shutdown, highlighting how air traffic controller shortages and TSA delays are creating nationwide disruptions. This segues into a sharp critique of Democratic leadership, with Buck questioning whether mounting pressure from unions and airline executives will force Democrats to end the standoff. The conversation then shifts to Kamala Harris’s controversial book tour and her attempts to defend the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline. Buck dismantles Harris’s argument that Biden was fit to govern but not to campaign, calling it “absurd” and pointing out the administration’s deception about Biden’s mental state. Harris’s excuses for her crushing 2024 election loss to Donald Trump—including claims of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and the “Elon Musk factor”—are dissected in detail. Buck argues that Harris’s failure reflects a broader rejection of identity politics and DEI-driven promotions, emphasizing that voters now demand competence over optics. Do You Believe? Buck welcomes Miranda Devine, host of Pod Force One, for an in-depth discussion on her recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Topics include the administration’s stance on Russia-Ukraine peace prospects, the fallout from Zelensky’s Oval Office clash with Trump, and growing speculation about U.S. military operations in Venezuela—raising questions about whether these strikes target drug cartels or signal regime change. Miranda also shares JD Vance’s candid thoughts on UFOs and spiritual forces, his Catholic faith, and personal anecdotes about President Trump’s work ethic and family-friendly demeanor, offering listeners a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the White House.

Politicians argue about subsidies while families face premiums that can top $26,900 and deductibles big enough to delay basic care. We step past the slogans to map how the ACA exchanges actually work today—standardized benefits that reduce real choice, narrow networks that hide access problems, and a pricing spiral that subsidies struggle to catch. Along the way, we unpack ghost networks in mental health, why out-of-network showdowns hit consumers hardest, and how pharmacy benefit manager rebates can reward drug utilization even as patients fight for approvals.With Nate Kaufman of the Healthcare Bridge, we press on a practical blueprint: unify tax-funded programs into one baseline plan for everyone legally here, financed on a progressive scale. Then let private insurance sell optional add-ons that prove their value on access and outcomes, not marketing gloss. We argue for opening Medicare Part D-style drug purchasing to all, so payers and manufacturers compete in a fair arena. And we make a crucial point often skipped in policy talk: if clinicians aren't paid enough to say yes, coverage is a promise that collapses at the front desk. Raise rates for high-value services, shrink bureaucracy, and hold networks to transparent, enforceable standards.This conversation is candid, nonpartisan, and focused on patients and physicians rather than lobby talking points. If you've ever felt like the “chump at the table” in healthcare—paying premiums to an insurer incentivized to deny and taxes to a system that can't align incentives—you'll find both clarity and a path forward here. Dive in, share with a friend who's wrestling with open enrollment, and tell us: what's the first fix you'd make to rebuild access, quality, and affordability?
