Healthcare Inequities and Disparities Pt. 4

See the Invisible: Living with an Invisible or Rare Disease

First, thank you all for your patience. My family and I had Covid. Thanksgiving was spent in quarantine and I'm still not 100% (but really, I haven't been 100% in years) but I'm slowly getting there.

Also, I will be moving the podcast to a new host. I currently pay monthly for this host, but I'm finding that is not really feasible to continue. I will be moving it to a no-charge host. I will keep it on this host until at least 12/24 but then will move it. It should not cause any issues in the long term. Possibly during a 24 hour period there may be some lag in updating from one host to the other, but the new host (supposedly) is supposed to be able to keep the same feed for the podcast. The only thing that would change is if you did try to access the Podbean Website directly If you use a podcast app, not should change, hopefully.

So this episode will continue the series on inequities in Healthcare. As the new year approaches, and many people needing to change insurance for one reason or another, and deductibles resetting even if you are keeping the same insurance, many of us will face difficulties in navigating our healthcare over the next few months at least.
