Summary
In a country that feels more divided than ever, there’s one thing almost everyone agrees on: our healthcare system is broken. From crushing medical debt to rural hospital closures, deep Medicaid cuts, and the growing burden of insurance denials, too many Americans are falling through the cracks.
In Uncared For, our beloved SuChin Pak investigates the personal and political forces behind our fractured system. This season, the show zooms out to examine the healthcare system as a whole. Through deeply personal stories and expert insight, Uncared For uncovers why so many people feel, quite literally, uncared for — and what it would take to build something better.
