A few weeks ago, my friend and fellow health care activist Adi Barkin passed away from complications to ALS.

To remember Adi and what he stood for, he went back to the America

dissected archive to an episode about the cause that animated

Adi's life, Medicare for All. His words ring as true today as they did back in

2019 when we taped it, if not truer, considering the pandemic we just lived through.

Last episode, Lisa Cardillo, a mom from my home state of Michigan, who tragically

experienced a heart attack at the age of 36, shared her story with us.

Through her experience, we diagnosed the American health care system's many problems.

See, Lisa's heart attack or her husband's cancer before weren't their biggest worries.

When your medical bills become more stressful than your husband's brain cancer diagnosis,

Wellness isn’t just about mindfulness, exercise, or the right skin routine. Science, politics, media, culture, tech — everything around us — interact to shape our health. On America Dissected, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed cuts into what really makes us sick — be it racism, corporate greed, or snake oil influencers — and what it'll take to heal it. From for-profit healthcare to ineffective sunscreens, America Dissected cuts deeper into the state of health in America. New episodes every Tuesday. Want to know where to start?
