Summary

The girlies tackle the long history and contemporary policy that makes up the American healthcare system. They explain why millions go bankrupt from medical debt, detail the modern process of thotting out your traumas for GoFundMe pennies, and unpack why it doesn’t have to be this way. Digressions include a listener’s glowing testimony for Glossier foundation and how losing your right hand is nepotism, actually. Support the podcast on Patreon at patreon.com/binchtopia.

Binchtopia has donated $5,000 towards relieving medical debt though RIP Medical Debt. Check out their organization and make your own donation here!
