About this episode
Make It Make Sense: The Cost of Healthcare
Let me tell you what is not adding up. I recently paid $130 for a Pap smear, $68 for a bone densitometry, and $90 for a 3D mammogram. In Nevada? Those same tests would have cost me $222, $185, and $368. And here is the kicker: when I was paying $400 a month for health insurance, some of these were not even fully covered.
So… what the fuck was I paying for?
In this episode, I reflect on the absurdity of healthcare costs and the frustration so many of us feel trying to do the “responsible” thing by carrying insurance, only to still face outrageous bills. This is not a political rant: it is a real-life comparison that made me stop and ask, “What the fuck is wrong with this picture?”
If you have ever felt confused, frustrated, or financially stretched just trying to take care of your health, this conversation will resonate. Because preventive care should not feel like a luxury.
