In this very special episode, we look at how it became that 42% of Medicare plans in the US are administered through the privatized, "Medicare Advantage" option. We talk about why that sucks and what we can do about it.

This is (loosely) the third part of a slowly unfolding series of historical deep dives on how the US healthcare system was so horribly designed. While this is a standalone episode, you can find the two earlier discussions at patreon.com/deathpanelpod
