Healthcare Triage

We don’t know how much @aimeemcarroll paid to make this patchwork quilt, but we do know a lot about how much we pay for our patchwork of a healthcare system! (Spoiler alert: Way too much)

Tell us about your experience! Do you do crossword puzzles and/or other activities to sharpen your brain? Any chance you do it because you heard it may lower your risk of dementia?

But did we love the interpretation? Meh…but we’ll let you decide youtu.be/6VItTp0NwD4?si…

Are you swayed by the idea of exercising your brain muscle to strengthen cognition?

What about as you age? The idea that brain training can stave off dementia has some clout in popular media…but we aren’t so sure…

Whichever title you prefer, you can watch the first episode here: youtu.be/1F_cpaCRMBM?si… Then you should come back and tell us: What ticks YOU off about healthcare in the US?

Us coming up with a professional title for our new video series: “Addressing the pain points in America’s healthcare system” Meanwhile, Aaron:

And you know what? We're tired of the problems. So, we teamed up with @AcademyHealth to break it all down. Basically, we created a series about all the &!@# that drives us absolutely nuts about healthcare, and you can watch the first episode now: youtu.be/1F_cpaCRMBM

Here’s the key point of this week's video: The US healthcare system isn’t broken by accident, it works exactly how it was designed, which is… basically the problem.

The U.S. healthcare system is basically a Frankenstein of public programs + private insurance + government rules all stitched together 🧵 And somehow…we pay the MOST in the world for it. Cool cool cool.

There are some things about the American healthcare system that make Aaron really ****ing mad, at which point he either smashes stuff or makes videos about it. To keep it (mostly) professional, he went with the video this time

We teamed up with @HCTriage on a series about the biggest pain points in health care hosted by @aaronecarroll. The first episode is up now: buff.ly/cBjqqA1

Nothing says “everything is fine in healthcare” like: • Fraud investigations • A federal funding freeze • A lawsuit All in one state’s Medicaid program. Totally normal stuff. youtu.be/yMT0H7hHoPY
