The U.S. has one of the most complex healthcare systems in the world, and patients who need expensive medical treatments find themselves lost in a labyrinth of denials and opaque policies, struggling to access the care they desperately need. This talk addresses how misaligned incentives and bureaucratic barriers can obscure paths to medical care. Through real patient stories, it shines a light on the potential for reform and the power in patients standing up for their right to healthcare.
