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.

The Alliance for Health Policy: Don't Mess With Us

The Alliance for Health Policy: Don't Mess With Us

On the show today: President and CEO of the Alliance for Health Policy, Sarah Dash. AHP —or “The Alliance” — is a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to informing policymakers on critical health policy issues. I know it sounds wonky but it’s actually awesome because they are the good kind of “how the sausage is made.” After all, industry puts too much burden on patients to navigate the healthcare system. Listen in as we geek out over covalent bonds, how 20-something staffers run the country and the possibility of “un-geeking” health policy for the layperson.
