The Dark Economics of Healthcare - Drs. P. Robitaille & C. Rickabaugh, DemystifySci #378

In the quiet corridors where healing was once holy, something cold now slithers. In today's pod, two ER physicians step forward, voices steady, to reveal how the laws meant to protect truth have become tools of silence. Dr. Patricia Robitaille & Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh speak of hospitals that trade compassion for control, of doctors punished for refusing to look away. It’s a reckoning - part confession, part hymn - for a system that’s forgotten its soul. The two are now working in DC to rewrite the law that broke healthcare's back in the first place.
