S2E11: Another Year Over, A New One Began with Rachel Rigali, Social Media Coordinator at HCNR and host Dr. Nick. New year personal goals can be an artificial marker but for many, it proves to be a helpful inflection point allowing for a new effort or attempt at achieving some personal or professional aim. But in the healthcare system, this artificial watershed process is less positive and more negative. If you have health insurance, you know that the end of the year is a significant event in the financial calendar of healthcare. Everything resets. On a personal level, it means your deductible and co-insurance resets. When you make the decision to pay for insurance you expect that it will pay when you need it. The reality for so many is quite different – there is a mismatch between what is offered as “healthcare insurance” and what the people buying this expect. On this episode you will hear a personal care journey. The system is working as designed but it is not meeting the needs of huge swathes of our population. Your better pill to swallow is for everyone one of us to step up and refuse to accept the status quo of our sick care system. Take a leaf out of Rachel’s outlook and learn about the system, the coverage, and the costs, and find your means of contributing to solving this for all our sake.
