Health insurance companies aren’t in the business of keeping people healthy—they’re in the business of making money. And that means they’ll go to extreme lengths to deny valid healthcare claims, sometimes with devastating, even fatal, consequences for the people they insure. We all know the system is broken, but journalists T. Christian Miller and Patrick Rucker have uncovered just how deep the rot goes in their exposé Not Medically Necessary. This week, Adam sits down with Miller and Rucker to discuss their shocking findings and whether there’s any hope of escaping the nightmare of for-profit healthcare.
