The Insulin Crisis
<p>Insulin is one of the most disproportionately expensive drugs in America, and for many diabetics, the consequences of that cost can be life-threatening. On this episode, activist and mutual aid organizer Zoe Witt explains how our current healthcare system prevents many diabetics from being able to afford their insulin and how that lack of access affects health outcomes. They also share their personal experiences rationing insulin and explain how their organization, Mutual Aid Diabetes, is tackling the problem head-on.</p> <p><strong>Read more about the insulin crisis: </strong><a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-10-07/insulin-cost-cap-democrats-biden-congress**"><strong>https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-10-07/insulin-cost-cap-democrats-biden-congress</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Contribute to MAD: </strong><a href="https://mutualaiddiabetes.com/donate/"><strong>https://mutualaiddiabetes.com/donate/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety"><strong>https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/**"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p>

How Context Changes Care
<p>Not only do health outcomes in the US fall short of other developed countries, but some groups disproportionately carry the burden of poor health. In this episode, we look at how race, class, and gender affect the quality of care that people receive and their odds of living a long, healthy life. Licensed social worker and University of Texas at Austin doctoral candidate Liana Petruzzi walks us through the reasons why medical care varies so widely between these groups and how factors like immigration and gender nonconforming identities make things even more complicated. By the end of the show, you'll understand how identity impacts access to care and why universal healthcare is an important step towards resolving these disparities.</p> <p><strong>Explore health disparities by race: </strong><a href="https://americanprogress.org/article/health-disparities-race-ethnicity/"><strong>https://americanprogress.org/article/health-disparities-race-ethnicity/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>By gender: </strong><a href="https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/article/60/Special_Issue_2/S40/2965171"><strong>https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/article/60/Special_Issue_2/S40/2965171</strong></a></p> <p><strong>By class: </strong><a href="https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/49116/2000178-How-are-Income-and-Wealth-Linked-to-Health-and-Longevity.pdf"><strong>https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/49116/2000178-How-are-Income-and-Wealth-Linked-to-Health-and-Longevity.pdf</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety"><strong>https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p>

The Odd One Out on Healthcare
<p>Around the world, the US is an outlier when it comes to healthcare policy. In this episode, University of Notre Dame PhD candidate Mette Evelyn Bjerre walks us through the ways that healthcare in the US sticks out from other countries. From how much we pay to how long we wait for the doctor, Eve shares the surprising facts and experiences that make American healthcare so different—and so much less efficient—than the other places she's lived. You'll also hear stories from Giulia Zattoni, an Italian international student at the University of Cincinnati, about the culture shock of American healthcare.</p> <p><strong>Drug pricing data: </strong><a href="https://waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/ways-and-means-committee-releases-report-international-drug-pricing"><strong>https://waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/ways-and-means-committee-releases-report-international-drug-pricing</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety"><strong>https://twitter.com/ingoodsociety</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow In Good Society on Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/ingoodsociety/</strong></a></p>
