In celebration of our first 100 Code WACK! episodes, we're revisiting one of our very first - and most disturbing - podcasts. It's about how our ‘wack' healthcare system, with its confusing mess of various insurance plans, treats patients very differently depending on who pays the claims. Tragically, it's as relevant today as ever! Guests Dr. Ron Birnbaum and Dr. Paul Y. Song reveal to host Brenda Gazzar the problems patients and doctors face due to our multi-payer health insurance scheme, and some potentially life-threatening hassles that are common health insurance industry practices. And Dr. James G. Kahn explains just how much money the average American family is paying each year for our ultra-complicated healthcare system. (It's a shocker!)
