This episode comes off as overly editorialized and condescending.  It feels like the the host has no faith in the listener to draw their own conclusions.The message is on the right track but it's watered down by attempts to rope in 340b pricing -- a definite good for the healthcare industry that shifts profits from pharmaceutical companies to places of care -- and paint it as hospital greed, criticizing tax breaks for hospitals saying they will only use profits for shiny hospitals in suburbs, and the use of a man's tragic death as a poker chip. Disappointed in a podcast that I typically enjoy.
