About this listen

In this eye-opening episode, host Joshua dives deep into the heart-wrenching realities of America's healthcare system with guest Melissa Garaga, a passionate advocate from Code Pink. Melissa shares her personal experiences navigating the insurmountable costs of health insurance, revealing the shocking truth behind premium hikes and the stark choices families face: go broke or risk their health. Together, they dissect the concept of "necropolitics," exploring how government policies often prioritize military funding over the lives of everyday citizens. As they unpack the stark statistics surrounding healthcare access and the looming threat of medical bankruptcy, this conversation challenges listeners to confront the moral implications of a system that seems to value profit over people. Join us for a critical discussion that demands attention and action as we explore the intersection of healthcare, politics, and human dignity.
