Single Payer 101; The Best Medicine

Across the country, health insurers are raising rates or pulling out of the Obamacare exchanges. Could a single-payer system solve some of the problems? How would that work? What IS a single-payer system, anyway? Who wins, who loses? Then, a storytelling and improv show takes an unusual approach to discussing mental illness.

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
Maureen Harvie is Senior Supervising Producer for On the Record. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and joined WYPR in 2014 as an intern for the newsroom.
