Healthcare in hostile times

Healthcare in hostile times

Author: Lydje Lahens March 10, 2025 Duration: 51:22

Welcome to a new episode of "Badly Governed." In today's show, we dive into a critical conversation inspired by the 2024 U.S. election results and the timely book by Dr. Tiffany D. Joseph, "Not All In." This important book takes a close look at how race, immigration, and healthcare intersect, revealing the deep-rooted challenges that keep immigrant communities from getting fair healthcare, even with reforms. With a new president known for his anti-immigrant views, our chat with the author is set to be especially revealing. We'll discuss how today's political environment impacts these issues and what it means for immigrants nationwide.

Hosted by Lydje Lahens, Badly Governed is a conversation series that digs into the often messy intersection of our personal well-being and the societies we live in. Each episode moves beyond abstract debate, grounding discussions in tangible realities by speaking with community organizers, scientists, healthcare workers, and policy thinkers. You’ll hear how systemic issues directly shape individual health, fitness routines, and mental resilience. The dialogue explores the science behind social phenomena and questions how our communities are structured, seeking clarity within complex topics. This podcast creates a space where these interconnected themes-spanning health, science, and social structures-are examined not in isolation, but as parts of a whole. It’s for anyone curious about the underlying forces governing daily life and looking for thoughtful perspectives that link personal experience to broader collective challenges. The conversations are candid and geared toward understanding, offering listeners a nuanced audio landscape to explore how we navigate a world that often feels, as the title suggests, imperfectly managed.
