WHY HAS GO FUND ME BECOME AMERICA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM?


Listen Later

President of the Center for Health and Democracy, Wendell Potter explains why healthcare insurance is so expensive and restrictive, and that there is an ever-increasing number of people turning to crowdfunding. This is little short of begging and is the face of American for-profit health care. Discover the story of Gill and Ron, who are an example of people turning to a Go Fund Me page to survive, after having to pay deductibles for their health care. How can this happen in a civilized democracy? How did some greedy people manage to use the pandemic to get rich while you and your family got sick? J. David McSwane shares insights from his new book, Pandemic Inc: Chasing the Capitalists & Thieves Who Got Rich While We Got Sick is an explosive look inside the rush to profit from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
