In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I take a closer look at our profit-driven healthcare system after the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Financial goals often outweigh patient care, with rising denials for essential treatments and CEO compensation tied to profits\u2014creating a troubling conflict of interest. As a mom who fought tirelessly for my daughter\u2019s Medicaid support, I know firsthand how broken this system is for families just trying to get the care they need. It shouldn\u2019t be this hard. We can learn from healthcare models in countries like Canada and England, where patients\u2014not profits\u2014come first. It\u2019s time for change. &amp;nbsp; In this episode, you will hear:   Some challenges individuals face in navigating complex health insurance policies.   How profit-driven healthcare models can impact patient care.   Why advocacy is important in ensuring adequate patient care within the healthcare system.
