In this week’s episode I talked to Nikki about qualifying and listing for a double lung transplant due to her rare disease LAM. We talk transplant stuff and get Nikki’s insider perspective on the American healthcare system. She actually used to work on the inside of health insurance and has a unique perspective on what the future might hold for the system.
