Mark Cuban: Why Does Healthcare Suck? Can Billionaires Save Us?

About this episode

In this extended cut of the very first SGDQ Nayeema asks Mark Cuban if America's love-hate relationship with billionaires is justified, if we can count on rich dudes to solve problems like universal healthcare, and what happens on the group chats of the rich + famous. Also new: what does he make of a Kamala Harris 2028 run? They're pressing questions as the world’s wealth — and power —  seems to be getting even more concentrated in our AI future, and candidates like Zohran Mamdani are willing big on an affordability agenda that focuses on those of us, um, NOT billionaires.  Also: If capitalism broke health care, can capitalism fix it? Why does buying life-saving medicine feel like getting mugged at CVS? And what actually changes when you go from your first million… to your first billion? And does Mark Cuban believe in UBI? Make sure you’re following Nayeema and the show on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok for our latest and greatest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
