Lean to the Left: Stay Informed. Speak Up. Join the Conversation.

The Lean to the Left podcast has just featured three consecutive interview episodes focusing on the overall question of what’s wrong with America’s healthcare system and what can we, as healthcare consumers do about it. Our guests were three physicians with long experience coping with the system today. They recount their experiences and offer suggestions for change. But the bottom line is this: Our healthcare system is controlled by greed, corporate and otherwise, and both patients and doctors are getting screwed.
