This week, KHN’s “What the Health?” panelists answered questions submitted by listeners.
Among the matters coated had been the origins of protection in Medicare and Medicaid, telehealth, wellness plans and why medical doctors receives a commission the best way they do.
This week’s panelists are Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times and Joanne Kenen of Politico. Kaiser Health News will publish a transcript of the podcast later.
Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists advocate their favourite well being tales of the week they assume you need to learn, too:
Julie Rovner: The New York Times’ “Scotland to Provide Free Sanitary Products to Students,” by Ceylan Yeginsu
Joanne Kenen: The Virginian-Pilot’s “Horrific Deaths, Brutal Treatment: Mental Illness in America’s Jails,” by Gary A. Harki
