Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
Great insight into important health issues!
Great Pod!
T.O. Continues to be one of the best health care policy pods!
Great info! Need to ask the tough questions to make it real.
I just found this podcast and binge-listened to like 2 years worth and it's TOTALLY important information that I wish made the general news. But you don't ever ask your the reality-check questions that would make them question their own basic assumptions. Like the politician who was kinda feeling guilty about having to vote against continuing a successful Medicaid expansion if the state wasn't allowed to keep charging premiums. He kept talking about "having skin in the game" meaning charging premiums to people who make so little money that they actually qualify for Medicaid. That's pathetic to begin with. But the obvious follow up question to that state legislator who already admitted that the Medicaid expansion actually helped the Montana economy grow in a ton of ways, was to ask, "what percentage of your income do you pay for health insurance?" Or, even better, to ask him if he was serious about having "skin in the game" would he give up his current government health insurance and go on Medicaid, as his currently insurance is also costing state taxpayers alot of money and way more than the average Medicaid patient. Let's get real.
