This time on HEAL California’s Medicare for All podcast, Code WACK!, we’re taking a closer look at Ireland’s push toward universal healthcare with Sláintecare—a 10-year reform plan designed to ensure access based on need, not wealth.

Why did Ireland lag behind other European nations in adopting universal healthcare? How does Sláintecare compare to Medicare for All? And what lessons can the U.S. take from Ireland’s journey toward a fairer system?

Join us as we speak with Dr. Sara Burke, public health expert and director at Trinity College Dublin’s School of Medicine, to explore what Sláintecare means for Ireland—and what it could mean for the future of U.S. healthcare.
