Delivering Our Story: Surrogacy, Health Insurance, and Our Personal Politics
Manage episode 354119236 series 3368637
Host Ariel Lavery’s mail carrier is a cheerful, everyday woman who has walked roads less traveled when it comes to her reproductive journey. From her son’s disabilities, to becoming a surrogate, to choosing to sterilize herself, her experience with the U.S. healthcare system has been diverse and frustrating. Yet, her outlook on solutions to issues she has faced may surprise you.
In this episode, we hear from Sam and her conservative husband Brian on their perceptions of the U.S. healthcare system and how well the system serves its rural patients. As a couple they represent two states with opposite political sway. But their belief in women’s rights to access care doesn’t fit neatly within a color coded border.
