Healthcare 'N Retirement: If you don't like it...see ya' (Part I)


Listen Later

Is healthcare in retirement the promised land? You have retired, kicking up your feet, on Medicaid, and living la vida loca, right?  Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris continue their retirement expose with their mother, documenting her journey. There was so much in this episode of Flesh 'N Bold, they had no choice, but to create a two-part episode series. Our dynamic duo explores her experience with government-sponsored insurance and tackles age, race, and gender and the intersectionality of it all. To cure or to care, is there any hope to have both things in the US healthcare system? Why is healthcare a full-time job in retirement?  Take a listen, think about your own healthcare experiences, and see what you think. Don’t forget, babyyyyyyyy, they are just getting started. Part II is yet to come. In the meantime, please don’t forget to like, share, and discuss!
