No Insurance Card, No Copay: What US Doctors Learn Living Under the NHS

Dr. Adam Brown and Dr. Lara Zibners reunite from London for a deep dive into how American and British healthcare actually compare, not in theory, but from two physicians living it. Lara walks through her own visit (no insurance card, no copay, no bill) and breaks down what she's really paying for US coverage versus UK coverage. The conversation turns personal when Lara shares the story of her mother's ALS diagnosis and the weeks-long wait to see a neurologist. They also dig into why the US and New Zealand are the only two countries that allow direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising, the downstream effects of recent Medicaid and SNAP cuts, and why NHS wait times get more attention than what's actually broken. It closes out with a British-vs-American medical vocabulary round that gets predictably out of hand.
