Code WACK!

A devastating loss, then corporate callousness. An American healthcare story.


Listen Later

Listen as guest Kayla Westergard-Dobson describes the health insurance nightmare she and her husband are still grappling with after the tragic death of their premature son, Arthur.  It all started the day after her emergency C-section (while still on high-powered pain killers) with a call from the hospital billing department requesting about $3,800. A year after Arthur’s passing and a seemingly never-ending stream of bills, the couple is in collections and struggling to make sense of their health insurance. Is this really “the American way?”  Evidently it is.
