Is the U.S. medical system truly prioritizing health or just managing disease? This episode dives into the controversial nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General and what it reveals about the state of modern medicine. With chronic illness on the rise and pharmaceutical influence stronger than ever, the conversation challenges long-standing norms in how we approach public health.
