A cyber attack on one of the biggest healthcare companies in the U.S. is disrupting pharmacies and hospitals throughout the country.

The company attacked, Change Healthcare, is owned by UnitedHealth Group, the biggest processor of medical claims in the nation.

The Department of Health and Human Services released a plan encouraging private health funding to the organizations hardest hit by the hack.

We discuss the attack and other healthcare news, including; rising drug prices, the latest on reproductive rights, and discuss the end of the federal free at-home Covid test program.
