Rooting for Luigi: Navigating Healthcare in the US Dec 10, 2024

Hi Everyone,

Here is a side episode on United HealthCare. It was recorded on Sunday December 8th, before Luigi was officially apprehended, but aside from the jokes (namely, Radbill jokingly framing $Mic for murder), this episode focuses largely on navigating Healthcare in the US and what companies like UHC do to shirk their commitment to making claim payouts. We hope you like it.

How did our two party system get to where it is today? Join us as we bring this thing from FDR to the 21st century. We tried not to deviate too far from the point of the episode, but let us know if we missed anything.

**Important note: the focus of this episode is how the parties have switched. We are aware of the 2025 Project, and it's backing from the folks at the Heritage Foundation who brought us a handful of supreme court Justices, a health care plan and so much more. We are aware of current geopolitical unrest, but this already represents a slight thematic deviation for our little podcast. To keep this to a two episode stretch and to align it with what's coming, we kept the focus of this episode to just the position of the two parties, what they represent and to whom they have catered throughout their history.**
