[S2E20] Vincent Catalano: Let’s Not Normalize Medical Debt
CLEARly Beneficial Podcast
A New York Times headline stopped Vincent cold during a walk through Battery Park: the Trump administration is proposing to let insurers finance medical debt on behalf of patients who can't pay their bills.
It sounds like a safety net. It's a new market.
In this Hot Health Take, Vincent breaks down exactly who benefits when hospitals, insurance companies, and banks are all handed a piece of the medical debt pie, and what it means for the sick consumer already struggling to cover a deductible. He also makes the case for the policy position he's been building toward for years, one that's controversial in his industry, and one he no longer has any reason to stay quiet about.
