Pardon My Ignorance Episode 1: Explaining the Canadian and American Healthcare Systems

On today's inaugural episode, I'm curious to discuss the Canadian and American healthcare systems with Dr. Aslan Efendizade and Dr. Maxwell Cretcher.

There are many things that consumers are unaware of when it comes to our access to healthcare, how the system is structured, the limits of insurance coverage, the relationships insurance companies have with hospitals and more. This conversation covers all those areas!
