    Professionally done and informative!
    Great topics, useful insights, good audio, and reasonable length. Very helpful to stay on top of health policy topics. Grateful!

    I keep trying to give this a chance,
    ….but I really do wish you were not so blatantly partisan. Balance perspective-wise would be very refreshing and maybe help us be a less divided world. Please.

    Great podcast!
    A great complement to the written journal— I particularly appreciated the episode on hospital price transparency.
