Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Matthew Zachary is the healthcare policy love child of Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Thomas Paine, Ralph Nader, and Jerry Seinfeld. He has 19 years of receipts to prove it. Editorially independent. Answerable to no one. What started as The Stupid Cancer Show in 2007 became Out of Patients. The first online health podcast in America, predating the medium itself. Zachary survived brain cancer at 21, built the young adult cancer movement from scratch, and spent two decades channeling patient rage into something the system never saw coming. Now he is marching into Washington. Out of Patients goes where the comfortable shows will not. Politics. Healthcare policy. Economics. Institutional accountability. Consumer protection. The forces shaping what 330 million Americans can access, afford, and survive. Battle-scarred patients. Exhausted caregivers. Rare insiders brave enough to name what is killing us. And the occasional elected official about to find out what an organized patient constituency actually looks like. This is the show that started the conversation America is still not ready to finish.

Scrambled Eggs: An Infertility Advocacy Rantfest with Alice Crisci

Scrambled Eggs: An Infertility Advocacy Rantfest with Alice Crisci

Back on the show today in this special bonus episode of Out of Patients, a little segment we're calling "Scrambled Eggs." with returning champion guest Alice Crisci, cancer survivor, fertility activist, and Founder and CEO of MedAnswers. What triggered this conversation was a recent article in Ms. Magazine by cancer survivor Madison Chapman opening up a wormhole about all the stupidity and ridiculousness surrounding fertility preservation and fertility rights issues; unnecessary obstacles that somehow still lie in the road nearly 45 years later when the science first began. Note that if you are interested in fertility advocacy and what you are about to listen to pisses you off just enough, our partnership with the nonprofit RESOLVE may be just the thing you're looking for to take action, join the movement, and give back.  Let's jump down the rabbit hole.
