If it costs more money to heal, to get care, to live, wealthier Americans can live longer, healthier lives than poor Americans.
Yeah. Yeah. I thought one of the really interesting things that you said about that, but also how people are seeing it the same way from both sides of the aisle is everyone's pointing at this and saying social decay is but the origin they're sort of pointing at different places. Like some people are pointing at the killing itself.
Some people are pointing at all of the comments online that seemed heartless. And some people are pointing upstream and talking more about the structural violence that has happened long before.
Acknowledging this head-on pushes the conversation back into the feedback loop of criticism. But again, I think it's perfectly acceptable in this complicated time we're living in to feel the weight of Bretton Johnson's death and the weight of the harm people have endured through not having access to affordable health care.
So that's what people are feeling right now. And it's notably been across the aisle.
Yeah. Yeah. During COVID, I watched TV shows that got really hyped up that I had missed, like Game of Thrones and I watched Breaking Bad. I had sort of missed the train on that by many years, but I had heard of it and I knew so many people were big fans. And what was so shocking to me at first was that people just sort of accepted the premise.
that somebody got a terminal illness and had to cook meth in order to provide for his own healthcare costs. It's crazy. If the show were to take place in Canada, it would have been a very boring show. It would have been one episode and he would have got chemo and it would have been fine.
So because this outrage does seem to be across the aisle, can we expect a solution from the government to fix the broken healthcare system?
And lastly, can we expect a solution from the healthcare industry and UnitedHealthcare itself? I'll leave you with an excerpt from Gia's piece.
Hi, Money Rehabbers. It's Morgan Levoy, the EP of the show. And this week, I'm going to be guest hosting Money Rehab. I've been producing Money Rehab with Nicole since it launched in 2021. I remember so clearly the first time I ever met Nicole, it was over Zoom because, you know, it was 2021 and everything was over Zoom. It might have even been 2020.
And Nicole had booked an Airbnb to write, honestly, I forget which book at that point. It might have been Miss Independent. And she was in the middle of the desert somewhere. And so we were on this call talking about what the show might look like. And every so often there would just be this screeching noise in the background because where Nicole was, there was a large population of wild hogs.
And so every so often she would flip her camera around and you would just see this small stampede of very scary looking wild creatures. And I just remember thinking, I love this woman and I can't wait to work with her. And at the time I was at iHeartRadio also producing other shows like Bethany Frankel's podcast and Bill Clinton's podcast, Minnie Driver's podcast and a bunch of others.
But Money Rehab has always had a really special place in my heart. I love the show so much that I actually left my job at iHeart to start M&N with Nicole. And it's just been the ride of a lifetime, the biggest opportunity I've ever had, which is why I'm so grateful to be guest hosting the show this week.
So this week, you'll hear episodes ranging from a conversation on the business of drag with the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 2, Alaska. A deeper dive on some of those quote unquote boring businesses Nicole has talked about. For that conversation, I'm going to be talking with the CEO of laundry and dry cleaning company Rinse.
You're also going to hear my conversation with Gia Tolentino, staff writer at The New Yorker and one of the most important writers of our time, talk about what the killing of the UnitedHealth CEO says about the state of the healthcare system in the U.S. All of that and more you'll hear this week.
But first, I'm going to share the very first episode of Money Rehab that I was ever featured on with an even more special guest, my mom. And in that conversation, Nicole will also help you find free money. So here's that episode.
Okay, so here's what happened. Also, hi, everyone. It's Morgan, one of the producers on Money Rehab. So I did go to unclaimed.org. And spoiler alert, I did have unclaimed money, which is so exciting. It's weird. I guess the college that I went to owes me money. I'm honestly not sure what it's for.
But to be totally straight up with you, because of the way that the unclaimed money was sent to New York State, I actually can't collect it online. And I also can't see how much money there is for me. So fingers crossed it's, you know, a million dollars. But what I have to do now is print out the mail-in form and send it in, which is totally fine.
There's money out there that I didn't know about that has my name on it. That's awesome. But in terms of the show, I don't want to leave you guys hanging. You know, snail mail. Who knows how long this could take? I thought instead I would try to help someone find some unclaimed money. So I called my mom.
Hi, Mom.
