About this listen

In this episode I meet up with Tina Shah MD MPH, a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and critical care who is running for Congress in New Jersey's seventh district. We dive deep into Tina's journey from White House Fellow, to working with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to ICU doctor to congressional candidate, exploring how physician burnout, healthcare affordability, and insurance company barriers to care drove her to pursue systemic change at the policy level. Tina shares powerful patient stories—including her own mother's cardiac care denial and a diabetic patient's life-threatening hospitalization due to medication rationing—that illustrate why doctors need a seat at the table in Congress. We discuss civic health, the misinformation epidemic, healthcare workforce crisis, and how she successfully led a grassroots movement that defeated the insurance lobby in New Jersey to protect patients from prior authorization denials.
