Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing this year. Understanding why pulls in a multitude of topics: aging populations, expensive new drugs and treatments, rising costs across sectors, the consolidated profit layers baked into our system, and more. Sarah and Beth untangle why and how we got here, what's actually driving costs, and why the solution is not as simple as wishing for a universal healthcare fix. Plus: why everyone seems so angry about everything. 

Topics Discussed

  • No Dumb Questions About Health Insurance

  • Why Premiums Are Skyrocketing

  • Insurance as Financial Security vs. Healthcare Solution

  • Outside of Politics: Customer Service and Community
