    Join us as we journey with Angelo, whose fight with chronic Hepatitis B led to a life-altering liver transplant. Born in the heart of the Philippines during the 80s - an era when the disease was largely misunderstood and undiagnosed - Angelo's story underscores the dire need for education about Hepatitis B. Moreover, Angelo expresses his concerns about the lack of a transplant center in his current home of Las Vegas, a city in a state that ranks among the top in organ donations. As our conversation unfolds, we begin to peel back the layers of the insurance industry, probing its often unsympathetic nature. Angelo, having navigated these stormy waters, shares his battles with an industry that seems to place shareholder wealth above the welfare of those insured. The struggle of advocating for oneself and the uphill task of exposing a company's unethical practices certainly add to the heartache and stress. Finally, we focus on the role that lawsuits play in forcing change within the system. Angelo makes it clear that suing corporations often becomes the only viable route to incite modifications to their policies and protocols. His story is a beacon of hope for those grappling with similar challenges. It is a call to stand up and fight against the system and its injustices.
