Description

**DISCLAIMER: The audio quality on this episode is less than stellar. We did an impromptu voice memo while it was raining on our camping trip. I have tried to clean up the audio as much as I can, so I apologize if it's difficult to understand. Will include a transcript as soon as I am able!**
While camping in the mountains with no service, Lexi and their best friend Sam talk about one reason why privatized healthcare is abhorrent. Sam is a nurse navigator for cancer patients and has to regularly tell patients with multiple health conditions that insurance won't pay for their other healthcare costs AND their chemotherapy.
