The Healthcare Paradox — Official Trailer: Real People. Real Patients. Real Outcomes.

Show notes

96% of Puerto Rico's seniors are on Medicare Advantage. The island's plans score among the best in the nation on quality — and Washington pays them about 41% less than the states.

Three voices from Bayamón, Caguas and Carolina on what that looks like at the kitchen table, on the porch, and behind the pharmacy counter.

Listen to The Healthcare Paradox. New episodes are out now — on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube.

Dramatized testimonials: the speakers are AI-generated composites illustrating documented Medicare Advantage outcomes in Puerto Rico; they are not real individuals.
