Podcast Overview

Americans have been told that our health depends on the choices we and our doctors make, but this pandemic has made it clear that it’s the choices our politicians make that affect our health the most. When patients are choosing between life-saving medications and putting food on the table, it’s clear the problems they face won’t be solved by prescribing another pill. The real prescription? Policy change that transforms this failing system and political change that elects the right people to make it happen. Rx: Change is a new podcast from Future Doctors for Progress, hosted by Harvard medical students. Join us as we talk to physicians and changemakers about their pioneering journeys to defy the status quo and make this country’s politics, policies, and health systems work for patients and communities.
