The Most Dangerous Part of America’s Healthcare System Isn’t What You Think with Tom Mueller
What Now? with Trevor Noah
In this episode of "What Now? with Trevor Noah," Trevor and Eugene interview Tom Mueller, author of "How to Make a Killing in Healthcare." Mueller discusses his background, including his time in banking and his decision to become a writer. The conversation revolves around white-collar crime, corruption, and the healthcare industry, particularly dialysis, which Mueller describes as a microcosm of what goes wrong when profits are prioritized over patient care. They explore the role of corporations, whistleblowers, and the government in perpetuating these issues, and compare the US healthcare system to those of other developed countries. The discussion also touches on the racial disparities in healthcare access and outcomes, and the importance of community-level solutions.
