## Resource

America’s healthcare system is breaking people financially, emotionally, and medically, and fewer than half of U.S. adults now say they can consistently afford the care and medicine they need. In this episode, Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen react to viral healthcare videos from across the country and break down why Americans are so furious about medical bills, insurance companies, deductibles, ACA chaos, delayed care, and the growing push for universal healthcare. The Dangerous Ones share personal healthcare horror stories, including surprise bills, insurance runarounds, rejected claims, and the absurd reality of paying monthly premiums only to still get crushed when you actually need care. They also dig into the Trump administration’s healthcare approach, including the grotesque idea of insurers helping people finance out-of-pocket medical costs with debt. It is funny, furious, personal, and very, very American in the worst possible way.
