Healthcare is broken, and even if you have health insurance, you may not be able to afford your treatment, or your doctor might refuse to see you. Some hospitals and some doctors are taking the problem in their own hands and getting creative so you could get treatment, and they could get paid.
Meanwhile, while vaccines can save countless lives and prevent terrible lifetime handicaps, some choose not to vaccinate anyway. How vaccines work, and how not vaccinating can damage the herd immunity, it's all in this episode.

On the July 1, 2019 Smash Notes episode about healthcare in America, Kirill Zubovsky opens with We Are One by James Doherty, a musician from Eugene, Oregon. He says this episode tries something different: one topic, healthcare, with segments on why hospital prices vary so widely and on vaccines, and he points listeners to the show notes for the segment links. He says the rest of Doherty's song plays at the end of the episode. The recording identifies the singer and the song. It does not name a shop or a label.
