Podcasts about healthcare for all

This time on Code WACK!    What questionable justifications did a major insurance company give to repeatedly deny coverage to treat a baby's brain tumor? What would have been the financial impact on the family if they had to pay for their baby's treatment out-of-pocket? What specific health policies could we implement to avoid situations like this?    To find out, we spoke to Dr. Eunice Stallman, a psychiatrist in Idaho and mother of two-year-old Zoey, who has suffered seizures and developmental delays because of a brain tumor discovered when she was an infant. This is the second episode in a two-part series. Check out the Transcript and Show Notes for more!

If there is something both sides of the political aisle can agree on, it's that there is something deeply wrong with health insurance in the United States. What they can't agree on is how to fix it. The right blames everything on the Affordable Care Act, while those on the left say we need Healthcare For All. But what if there was another option?In a recent paper published in JAMA, leading health economist and University of Chicago Provost Katherine Baicker lays out an innovative blueprint for health care—not to tinker with our system on the margins, but to redesign the entire thing. It's a fascinating idea that takes us through the complex history of health insurance, how that web got so tangled up and how we can straighten it out.Link to the advertised Chicago Booth Review podcast: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast23-20230525

Host Dorothy Cociu interviews Janet Trautwein, CEO of the National Association of Health Underwriters, who provides a frank outlook on the current state of health care reform in Washington. Janet provides a mini glossary of terms, the differences between Universal Coverage, Universal Access to Health Care, Medicare-for-All, other single payer proposals, public options, and a look at Presidential Candidates and what health plans would look like if elected.

The podcast “Healthcare For All” is an in-depth look at the proposed healthcare plan, being promoted by several US Democratic presidential candidates and congressional leaders. The proposed plan is seeking to address the rising cost of healthcare in the United States, specifically but not limited to prescription drugs, eligibility concerns, pre-existing conditions, annual deductibles, co-payments and coverage for those who are uninsured.  

In this episode we meet Democrat Congressman TJ Cox. TJ was part of the Democrat wave that retook the House of Representatives in 2018. He is progressive and passionate about healthcare for all, immigrants' rights and diversity. He is also the first Filipino American to be elected from California to the House of Representatives. We love him because he knows the district he represents. District 21, in the California’s Central Valley, is the country’s largest producer of milk, but it is also the largest producer of meth. TJ understands the challenges, but he is also laser-focused on helping his constituents seize the opportunities in biotechnology and agriculture that will transform their health and prosperity.

On Duel we debate whether we would stay if our significant other were diagnosed with a serious illness. We talk about mental health (depression, anxiety, etc.), chronic diseases and the love of our pets. Plus Australia isn't worth the 16 hour flight, right? Barren hot land with one major city to boast about, kind of like Florida. This week's episode is sponsored by Oolagah Lake Publishing, publisher of the political thriller "The Last Romanian" by T.R.
